College basketball season is just over a month away, and today the Big 12 released their preseason accolades. Two Mountaineers received recognition, with Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles being listed as honorable mentions on the All Big-12 team.

Here's the full list of awards:
Preseason Player of the Year: Monte Morris, Iowa State
Preseason Newcomer of the Year: Manu Lecomte, Baylor
Preseason Freshman of the Year: Josh Jackson, Kansas
Preseason All Big-12 Team:
