FWIW, I do no think Mercedes Russell will be the FOY. The frontcourt is too deep for her to get the kind of minutes required to boost her stats for that kind of award. That said, she will probably easily win SEC FOY. She may not even start over Isabelle Harrison. When she was healthy, she was easily one of the premier post players in the SEC. AA watch for UT: Cierra Burdick has all the tools and has put in considerable work. She will be go-to on the wing. She is due for a breakout year. Ariel Massengale gained tremendous experience this summer and has been a capable floor general both years without having a back-up causing her stats to be not as good because of the wear and tear of 30+ minutes a game. With Carter back, her numbers will improve. And obviously Meighan Simmons and Bashaara Graves will be in contention for AA awards. You all will dog me for this, but if Meighan plays like she did in the SEC schedule before the tournament, averaging 19 points a game, improves her defense and cuts down on her turnovers again as much as she did last season and adds in some more rebounding, don't be surprised to see her on the short list for National POY, especially if she leads Tennessee to a #1 Seed and SEC Championship.
