Small College Basketball and the National Awards Committee is proud to announce the Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List for the 2022-23 season. The Top 100 Watch List consists of some of the top players from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, USCAA and NCCAA. Daniel Cook represents St. John Fisher University and the Empire 8 after a strong 2021-22 season and strong start to the 2022-23 year. Last season,
Cook played in 26 games and averaged 19.7 points and 10.3 rebounds on his way to being named First-Team All-Empire 8, First-Team All-Region, Third-Team All-American and Empire 8 Player of the Year for the second straight year.
John McCarthy had this to say about this year's Top 100 Watch List:
"Congratulations to the 100 players on the Bevo Francis Award Watch List, as this is a prestigious honor to be included on the list of only 100 players out of approximately 13,000-16,000 players at the small college levels," stated McCarthy.
"This is an extremely challenging process for our committee, and I appreciate a great deal of information provided by our committee, and from coaches and supporters from throughout the country. Again, congratulations to the players on the Bevo Francis Watch List, and thank you to our committee."
The Clarence "Bevo" Francis Award is presented annually to the player who has had the finest overall season within Small College Basketball. Considerations will be season statistics and individual achievements, awards, personal character and team achievements. This is an incredibly prestigious award, as this award will only be given to one player within Small College Basketball per season.
On February 15th, the list will be reduced to the Top 50 players. One month later on March 15th, the Top 25 players will be announced. On April 1st, the finalists of this year's award will be announced, followed by the Bevo Francis Award winner being crowned on April 3rd.
