Any list of top athletes at UK that doesn't have John Wall on it is way off not to mention Monk. Heshimu isn't in the top 25 IMO .

"Sky" was my first thought as being notably missing from that list. In my mind he was really the first true elite athlete in UK's program. A man who once won an NBA dunking title, and who as I personally witnessed in SLC in March of 1985 pretty much single handily help UK upset Washington and UNLV before losing to St. John's in Denver. And by all accounts I've read here a gracious man, and a true UK loyalist.
