No MPJ? No problem. The SEC’s best freshmen still left a mark

It’s awards season! At Rock M Nation, we aspire to myopically cover and track the SEC, whether it’s with preseason previews, The Watch and game previews. With the conference tournament starting this week, we decided it was time to hand out some plaudits.

If we’re honest, the SEC’s crop of youth lacked a little pizzazz, especially with Missouri’s Michael Porter Jr. sitting out all but two minutes of the regular season.

Kentucky's class was mortal, and the registrar’s office is going to be stunned when only three Cats exit Lexington. LSU’s Tremont Waters showed a knack for late-game theatrics.
