Is Maximus Edwards The Rookie of The Year???
Seems like every other week he's winning Rookie of the Week Honors
In addition to Maximus Edwards who are the top candidates in your view??

Can you guess the last GW Rookie of The Year winner?
Been a lot longer than I would have guessed
On a side note, we did have 4 of the first 16 winners... Can you name them???

Wow, impressive stuff
The leading candidate for A-10 Rookie of the Year, Edwards tops all conference rookies in points per game (10.8), rebounds per game (6.6) and minutes played (33.2). He also ranks among the A-10's top freshmen in steals (3rd) and assists
his fifth A-10 Rookie of the Week award, Maximus is the first Colonial with five Rookie of the Week awards since SirValiant Brown in 1999-00

Maximus Edwards Rookie of the Year win, the 6th in GW history, but also the 3rd in the last 4 years to make 1st Team All Rookie:
Maximus.
Brayon
Jamison Battle
Zero for the prior 10 years, dating back to the last 1st Team All Rookie, Lasan Kromah in 2009-10.
Hobbs had 6 of them:
Lasan. Damian Hollis. Carl Elliott. JR Pinnock. Mike Hall and TJ
We haven't had one who stayed since Hollis, so time to break that streak.

Every guy buried on a Power 5 bench would benefit starting down one level. Look how much better thing are for Maximus, not sure he'd be playing for #12 Kansas State this year. Rookie of The Year at GW.
On the flip side you have the case of JoeBam, who could have starred for 4 years at GW but is not getting into most games at Oklahoma.
A much wiser transfer situation, was Sincere Carey going back home and carrying Kent State into the Dance. They're a #12 seed no one is going to want to play in the NCAA Tourney.

I watched the MAC title game. Toledo had won 14 straight going into the game. Kent dispatched them with ease.
