They were 6th

UConn's been Point Guard U for awhile now. ESPN used to have an afternoon show called Scholastic Sports Academy, highlighting top HS players in every sport. I remember a segment on a top senior BB player who recently signed to attend "Point Guard U, UConn" Ricky Moore.

Close. At least I think I know what you are referencing. Scholastic Sports America hosted by Chris Fowler was on for a while. He'd be visiting some god awful locations to work his hustle and get enough tape for episodes.

it’s a shame with that 2006 team, marcus williams should’ve gotten a ring.

TY - not sure how I missed that.....

Nice to be visible in something like this. Not sure why Dyson is listed, he was no PG. Seems like they missed Earl Kelley, and gave too little notice to Williams, Smith and Price.

Wes Bialasuknia was not a point guard. He was a shooting guard and a great one.

The biggest miss was Tate George. First round draft pick.

Yup. i remember seeing an episode on Jason Kidd! Wow i feel old. I was Uconn/cbb/recruiting obsessed at the time and id watch ever episode hoping to see some recruiting story.

Point guard? Wes never saw a potential shot he thought he would miss or that he should not take. Played a charity exhibition game with him against the Harlem Wizards (poor man’s version of the Globetrotters) his instructions were clear and simple - get me the ball and get the heck out of the way which I did, had a great time, nice guy, very competitive.

The Duke write-up was pretty weak - especially with it being juxtaposed with the UConn write-up (excellent) right there at #5

Imagine what his points per game average at UConn would have been with a 3 point line..

UConn is certainly PGU - I can't think of any program which has had so many outstanding PGs on a consistent basis in the past 35 years. Yeah the Dukes and UNCs have had good ones but UConn had one after another that were so steady and often brilliant. Maybe I'm too biased on this subject...............

 

[Edward Sargent]

Not sure I see MSU as #1 or Arizona as #4

Jerome Dyson was an SG, Andre Dyson, however, was a pg.

 

[Waquoit]

... or Arizona as #4

Worse, they have Zona listed at 3. I like how they noted Gilbert Arenas and Jason Gardner. Khalid El-Amin beat them both in the same game.

 

[M.S.G.]

Jerome Dyson was an SG, Andre Dyson, however, was a pg.

Andre Dyson is so underrated, the original combo guard.

Cool. What happened to 'Wing U' of ye olde days?
