The Really Good UK Player People Have Forgotten About Thread

Jason Parker

Roger Harden

 

[onearmedjesus]

I so wanted to be Roger Harden when I was in the 8th grade.

 

[Smashcat]

Heshimu Evans hardly mentioned these days.

 

[mcbarrycat]

Gerald Fitch from not that long ago

 

[mcbarrycat]

James Blackmon

 

[Orville Boggs]

Saul Smith

 

[HarnessedCat]

Ed Davender

 

[JonathanUSAF]

Erik Daniels ... vastly underrated.

 

[CUT-NETS]

I feel like a lot of guys from the Tubby era will be in this category. Think about Fitch, Daniels, Cliff Hawkins, Heshimu, etc. Then a guy like Desmond Allison (RIP) was a nice player.

 

[stuway]

Scott Padgett

 

[Aike]

Derrick Hord.

 

[catben]

Truman Claytor

 

[BLEEDBLUE444]

Joe Crawford

 

[millayc]

Rob Lock

 

[bthaunert]

Ed Davender

This was my pick too. Think about this. When he graduated from UK, he was:

7th all time in scoring
4th all time in assists
1st all time in steals

 

[Blueaz]

Gimel

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Jorts

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Smooth

 

[John Barleycorn]

He doesn't quite fit this thread but I'm in Toronto this week and it reminded me of Pat Patterson. He is greatly overshadowed by the rest of the stars from that year and the stars since that team but he was a three yr player and is still collecting a great paycheck, just doesn't get any hype playing in Canada. He should get more love for surviving BillyClyde.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Erik Daniels ... vastly underrated.

What sticks out to me about him was making his first 13 or so field goals over the first 3-4 games he played in a UK uniform..

 

[Federal Cat]

How bout Bradley, Crawford and Sparks, haven't heard about them in for ever they all went over to Europe and played didn't they

 

[jrpross]

Every single player on the '98 team. No stars. Just solid players that get lost in the shuffle. Turner, Sheppard, Edwards, Mills etc.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Mark Pope

 

[Nubb16]

People forget how good Wayne turner was at times as a point guard. But tip my hat at Erik Daniels. His game was so damn smooth

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Chuck Hayes, Antwain Barbour

 

[W2R]

......Jeff brasso....Rodney dent ........Jared Prickett

 

[EvilMD]

Mike Phillips

 

[EvilMD]

Deron Feldhaus

 

[CatInNC]

Reggie Hanson

I wonder if they still give out the team's sacrifice award, AKA: the Reggie Hanson Sacrifice Award.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Jodie Meeks
Estell
Ravi
Cliff Hawkins
McCarty
Razor Ramon
Jeff Shepard
Sean woods

The forgetables

Porter
Cote
Sheray
Saul
Sam Malone
Dusty mills
Brandon Stockton
Michael Williams

 

[screwduke]

Joe Crawford

 

[screwduke]

DeAndre Liggins. One of the best defensive players in UK history. Also was a huge reason we made the final four his final year.

 

[syrus12]

Darius Miller

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Matt pilgrim or Atleast I told he would be.

 

[bradscats]

Preston Lemaster and Michael Porter.

 

[Alumni Gym]

Saul Smith

I hope this is a joke.

 

[sefleming]

Anthony Epps
And from years ago Brad Bounds - on one of Rupps last teams I'm thinking

 

[Alumni Gym]

My list is:

Adrian Smith
Larry Pursiful
Tommy Kron
Mike Casey
Larry Johnson

Anthony Epps
And from years ago Brad Bounds - on one of Rupps last teams I'm thinking

Epps in another good one. No one seems to realize how much he meant to those great 1990's teams. Without him, they wouldn't have been what they were.
