Message: [QUOTE="DRBackup, post: 5153784, member: 12659"] My simple list consists of the following: Six Championships, best player on each team: Hamilton Okafor Walker Napier Sanogo Newton First Team All Americans: Donyell Ray Rip Emeka Shabazz Tristen Conference POY: Donyell Allen Hamilton (x2) Butler Okafor Thabeet That gives us a list of 10: Hamilton Walker Napier Newton Okafor Sanogo Marshall Allen Butler Thabeet I know putting Thabeet on that list isn't particularly popular, but his team went to the final four, he was twice DPOY, All Freshman BE, and 2nd team All American. I'd be curious to see a list of other nationally recognized players who ended up flaming out of the NBA as spectacularly to see if it affects their recognition as college players by that school's fans the way it does Thabeet. Next guys on the list would be first team all Big East that didn't make the previous 3 lists: Chris Smith Khalid El-Amin Ben Gordon AJ Price Jeff Adrien Jeremy Lamb James Bouknight RJ Cole Jordan Hawkins Cam Spencer Then add Freshman of the Year and Defensive POY: Nadav Henefeld Doron Sheffer Rudy Gay Josh Boone (D) Hilton Armstrong (D) Isaiah Walley (D) Stephon Castle And after that, Honorable Mention All Americans: Marcus Williams Donovan Clingan And, finally, 2nd team All Big East: Earl Kelley Cliff Robinson Scott Burrell Charlie Villanueva [/QUOTE]
