[uconnfan68]

Louisville - Pervis Ellison.
St John’s -Mullen is a safe choice, but they wouldn’t have won much with Walter Berry.
PC - Johnny Egan was my first choice, Ernie D was 2nd.

 

[Mr. French]

Huge Max Creek fan. Seriously

No kidding - the Mayor!

I never even knew he played ball, when I was around he was our mayor. Old heads told me later on he was a hooper.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Hot like fire!

Thought Dickie was a PC guy.

"Send it in Jerome!" One of Raff's Top 3 calls of all-time. I know exactly where I was when this happened.

 

[TheHorde]

For PC Id say Billy Donovan if you watched in the ‘80s or Austin Croshere if you watched in the ‘90s.

Some nice shout outs.

Wayman was my first "favorite" college player I wanted to be like.

"Send it in Jerome!" One of Raff's Top 3 calls of all-time. I know exactly where I was when this happened.

Jerome and De'Juan Blair were both mentioned multiple times which is why I didn't include them in my post.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Wow great additions and same names I would use. Great call Rick Mount. Made me think:

Memphis State Larry Kenon
Jacksonville Artis Gilmore
Western Kentucky Jim McDaniel
Minnesota Mychal Thompson
Maryland Tom Roy/Len Bias
Ohio State John Havlicek/Jerry Lucas

It may sound like hyperbole and it can never be proven, but I really believe Len Bias had the best chance to be like Mike. He had the prototypical basketball body and could get off any shot any time and make it look effortless.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Jerome and De'Juan Blair were both mentioned multiple times which is why I didn't include them in my post.

Fine by me. I wasn't going through four pages of choices.

Casual BYer.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Devendorf brought my Syracuse hatred to a whole new level

I thought I was a bad person because I felt such strong and passionate anger towards him.

 

[HooperScooper]

Yeah, not Quincy Pondexter. It's Phil Sellers. He beat us in the Dance of 76.

I don't think he liked being mentioned on here.

Phil Sellers dies at 69: Rutgers' all-time leader in points, rebounds fueled program's only Final Four run

Sellers is the cornerstone of what is arguably the Scarlet Knights' best era

Very well done!! It’s spot on for various reasons as you say. The only “possible” choice would surprisingly be UConn. Actually a few in contention in my older mind. Toby Kimbal, Wes B, Ray Allen and a center who’s name escapes me from the 50’s among many but can’t argue against Kemba!

 

[ElGreco]

Arizona - Mike Bibby
Kansas - Paul Pierce
UNC - Jordan
DUKE - Christian Laetner
UCONN - Ray
WV -Pittsnogle
Cuse - Lawrence Moten

Ucla - The O’Bannon brothers
Texas - Durant
Florida - Andrew DeClerq
Michigan St - Magic
Michigan - The Fab
St John's - Chris Mullen
Seton Hall - Terrry Dehere

Kansas-my choice is Manning, who carried them on his back like Kemba did for us.

 

[Kolumbo]

USD - Joey California
ECU - Tristan Newton
VPI - Nahiem Alleyne
URI - Tyrese Martin
Howard - RJ Cole

 

[Hoophound]

Kansas - Raef Lafrentz.

 

[Mr. French]

Arkansas will always be Big Nasty and Scotty Thurman.

 

[Deepster]

I tend to favor bigs. In my mind, Emeka was the most impactful big we ever had.

So what's interesting to me is, early on, Calhoun was known NOT to be a bigs coach. And now we have a huge roster of NBA caliber centers that not many (if any) other schools can match from the last 25 years.

 

[Deepster]

There's gotta be an interesting story behind this choice. Nobody mentioned Brandin Knight or Vonteego Cummings or Levance Fields, yet we get Orlando Antigua?

Ended up joining the Harlem Globetrotters.
