PrintThe power is in your hands to make Wes Johnson the Naismith Player of the Year. How does it feel having all that pressure on your shoulders? Well, relax a little because you're only responsible for 25% of vote. STILL!
Wes Johnson, Sherron Collins, Evan Turner and John Wall have all made the final ballot of the Naismith Men's College Basketball Player of the Year Award. The fun part is fans are allowed to text their vote for player of the year. Amazingly, these votes count towards 25% of the final results. Suddenly I feel like I've been watching American Idol all season instead of college basketball.
Anyway, voting is simple. Just text the word VOTE to 345345 (standard messaging rates apply). You'll receive a few messages back with instructions, including how exactly to vote for Wes Johnson. (because that is who you're going to vote for, right? I wouldn't have shared these instructions with you if I'd known you were thinking of voting for someone else.) You'll also get instructions to vote for the women's player of the year, but there is no Syracuse player involved, so you're free to vote as you wish.
Fans are permitted one vote in a 24-hour period and voting ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Saturday, April 3, 2010. So ::looks at watch:: we only have 48 hours to stuff the ballot boxes! Our phones get one vote a day. But so do all of your friends' phones. And so do all of their friends' phones. And so on.
So get the word out, limber up the fingers, and lets text our votes to make Wes Johnson the Player of the Year!

I've voted twice, but..
I fear we may be fighting a losing battle here.
The current results from the text I just received:
Wall – 44%
Turner – 32%
Collins – 19%
Wes – 5%
i saw wes johnson today, he was in Indy for the final four but also went to a Pacers game tonight. (is he going to be a spectator at the final four? that seems painful) For reasons unknown, he was with Cole Aldrich, Robbie Hummel and some other star college player i couldnt identify. I couldnt tell if they were there for some NBA reasons, (meeting with agents perhaps?) or if they were there for the party.
I stood and gawked for a solid five minutes. After hovering around, i worked up the courage to go shake his hand and stammer out something along the lines of “were all proud of you. to bad were not playing here and we all wish you luck with your future.”
He made eye contact and leaned in so he could hear me amongst the crowd, it was impressive, very humble. Hopefully that will be a positive and not a negative in the pros. The NBA can be brutal.
I also saw Greg Paulus (two different times!) It was like seeing Wes Johnson except the exact opposite. I briefly contemplated chanting ryan nassib. I wanted to show him the replay of his overtime pick against Minnesota and ask “id like you to walk us through your thought process during this play.” I wanted to say “i hear the weather’s very nice in Turkey this time of year.” By far the funniest part of the day
This site may seriously want to consider updating its name to Greg Paulus is an Absolute Magician. There needs to be a highlight reel of every pathetic Greg Paulus scramble, 2 yard completion, bone rattling sack etc. My youtube searches so far have come up empty.
If you'd started chanting Nassib
you would be nominated for world’s biggest douche
Syracuse '12
