Anthony Davis, UK's all-world freshman, was named the AP's Player of the Year today. He becomes the second freshman to win the award. (The other was Kevin Durant, in 2007). He is also the only Kentucky player to win the award.
Davis was also the SEC Player of the Year, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and the SEC Freshman of the Year.
I am really, really happy that Davis is getting the attention and respect he deserves. He is one of the best and hardest-working players we've ever had.
I will say that he's under consideration for the Heath Post's Kentuckian of the Year in 2012. But the competition for that award will be unbelievably fierce this year.
