It wouldn't be fair to Miles if she wasn't able to win NFOY. She had no chance to win it last year only playing 6 games. She is playing this year and has 3 more years of eligibility. She's a freshman. I say go for it.
Edit: I just found this on the NCAA website discussing mid season superlatives:
National Freshman of the Year (so far)
Notre Dame's Olivia Miles has been working on her case of becoming the National Freshman of the Year, so far. The freshman point guard is running the Irish offense full-time and has been setting her teammates up for success. Miles is currently No. 1 in the nation in assists, dishing out 101. Iowa State's Emily Ryan is next in line recording 82 assists.
Why wouldn’t it be fair? It’s not really fair to the rest of her class that she got a semester of playing/practicing and a summer of practice.
She’s a (essentially) sophomore. Could have waited and started with everyone else but she didn’t. Should not be eligible
