LSU senior forward Tasmin Mitchell keeps reeling in the accolades. Mitchell, the school’s all-time leader in minutes played and third all-time scorer, roped in Second-Team All-Southeastern Conference honors Tuesday per the coaches around the league. Mitchell took a step down after being named to the First Team last season. But his team did win the regular season conference title last year, and Mitchell’s Tigers won just two conference games this campaign. The award adds to Mitchell’s already impressive resumé. The Denham Springs native also boasts a spot on the 2006 SEC All-Freshman Team coupled with a place on the 2006 Freshman All-American Team according to CollegeInsider.com. Mitchell sits just 21 points away from scoring 2,000 in his illustrious career in Baton Rouge. Along with the minutes record, Mitchell owns the record for games started with 132. Mitchell has also grabbed the sixth-most rebounds of any Tiger in his career with 942. Kentucky freshman guard John Wall netted SEC Player of the Year honors while Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings earned SEC Coach of the Year. Wall is a national Player of the Year candidate after helping lead the Wildcats to 29-2 record, going 14-2 in SEC play. Wall, along with fellow Kentucky freshman forward DeMarcus Cousins and junior forward Patrick Patterson, was named to the All-SEC First Team. Georgia sophomore forward Trey Thompkins, senior Mississippi State forward Jarvis Varnado, South Carolina senior guard Devan Downey, Tennessee senior forward Wayne Chism and Vanderbilt senior guard Jermaine Beal fill out the rest of the First Team. Familiar LSU foil Varnado was named SEC Defensive Player of the Year for the third consecutive season. Varnado, who is now the NCAA all-time leader in blocks, swatted 11 shots in two meetings with LSU this year. The coaches also selected Florida sophomore guard Ray Shipman as SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Vanderbilt freshman guard John Jenkins as SEC Sixth Man of the Year. –Contact Chris Branch at [email protected]
