When does SEC vote on POTY?

This conference needs a serious upgrade. Only Arkansas or Florida has had a good taste of success. We need Arkansas back in the hunt
I agree, and if Musselman gets it rolling it will be even better. I don't know if you have seen it already, but here is an interesting article from KSR about his visit to Bud Walton this season.You certainly have the big time venue

That was a good write up.
I was perusing this article about BWA

...and I stumbled across the name Frank Broyles. THE Frank Broyles. In the 1960’s during his dynastic football run, he said that if Kentucky wanted to be really competitive—they would have to take advantage of Ohio. Basically recruit the heck out of it. Lo and behold—Coach Stoops is taking Coach Broyles advice.
It's not always about just the stats. There have been plenty of players that have great stats but we're on garbage teams. IQ or Richards could have had higher stats but they play on a team with other good players so their numbers are lower.
You have to look at the total package and not just stats.

That's an amazing comment, thanks for sharing!
As for BWA, if I remember correctly, when it was designed and built, it had the most seats in the smallest area ever designed.
Trust me, I get it, but nobody really knows how good is good enough. Mississippi State had a good season and ended up as the 4 Seed, if that meets the mark for a POY Candidate, then hands down it goes to Perry.
LOL huh ? UT and AU have been elite programs ( top 10ish ) the last few years and both will continue to be as they are bringing in a lot of talent in recruiting . UF is always there and Arkansas is on the rise .
Jones will be first team but he won't win POY. Jodie Meeks had similar numbers for Kentucky in 2009 (almost 24 points per game) but the team struggled and went to the NIT. LSU won the league and Marcus Thornton won the award. I'm guessing we see a similar outcome.

SEC announced the Top 4 finalists for POY on Twitter last night.
Quickley
Perry
Edwards
Jones
Jones is the best scorer in the conference, I get the argument for him. Perry was a double-double machine. I think you have to give it to Quickley. He doesn't have the quantity of 30-pt games that Jones had, or the double-doubles like Perry, but he was just flat out clutch and consistent all through conference play. He scored in double-figures every single conference game. Every. single. game.
Best player on the best team, and the most consistent player in the conference, I think Quick deserves it.

This is the best answer so far. IQ had great numbers and his team won the league. That's the winning combination.
Think his lack of production from @AUB to the UT debacle left him off the list.
He probably would have been a couple of weeks ago, but his play dropped towards the end of the season. He should still be 1st team all SEC though IMO.
Congratulations to Immanuel Quickley on SEC Player of the Year as voted on by the Coaches. Now I see that Reggie Perry and Mason Jones are Co-Players of the Year as voted on by the AP, and I guess that somehow covers all of the bases. At any rate......Congrats to all of them.

Yante Maten won it when Georgia had a losing conference record though.
I can see both sides. Winning helps but at the same time if it were the end all then the Alabama QB would win the Heisman every year even when they clearly aren't the best player. It's the same argument for coach of the year, Cal and Saban win it 99% of the time but they also have ungodly more talent than the rest of the league most years. I don't think they should be dinged for having more talent because that's part of the job but it is what it is.
Crean was only a half short. That's what he tells his AD!
