Often imitated, never duplicated. It is that time again, time to lock in "ya boy" for the 2026 season. We will archive this thread with the Preseason Prognostications. My selections from last year were as follows:
"Ya Boy": Diesel Moye
Offensive MVP: Davon Booth
Defensive MVP: Issac Smith
Offensive Newcomer of the Year/Breakout Player: Fluff Bothwell
Defensive Newcomer of the Year/Breakout Player: Jaylen Smith
Freshman of the Year: Tyler Lockhart
Here is a link to last year's threads, so you can all see how stupid we were: https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/ya-boy-2025.7916079/
As a refresher, "ya boy" in the PTI dialect is basically your favorite player on the team. You will be open to ridicule if your boy flops and entitled to tout said player as "ya boy" when he performs well this season. We could call it "Your Favorite Player" but that is just boring. As a bonus we will also do everyone's selections for Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP, Offensive Breakout Player, Defensive Breakout Player and Rookie (Freshman) of the Year.
