UK All-Deceased Team

[KWilt43atbuzz]

A bit morbid but we have covered damn near everything else:

Im going:
Alex Groxa
Ralph Beard
Melvin Turpin
Wah Wah Jones
Bill Spivey

A hell of a frontcourt with Beard running the show.

Who you got?

 

[KYtotheCore]

I'm going to say Rupp would probably be the best coach for the team.

Who you got?

If want to run the 1-3-1 trapping zone, then there is nobody better at the point than Tommy Kron.

Also, if you you want to pound the ball inside and beat teams to pieces, there is no one better than Mike Phillips.

And, if you want a guy who can score from everywhere on the floor, is clutch, and is tough as hell, then look no further than Mike Casey.

Now, if you want a guy to be ahead of his time, to help make the center position what it was, then you'd better locate Leroy Edwards.

And let's not forget about Kenny Rollins. HE was the point guard on those great late 1940's Kentucky teams, not Beard. Rollins was a great floor general, tough as hell, and a great defensive player.

Every former UK player who followed Rick to UofL is dead to me. The grownup side of me fully understands why they did it, but the fan in me hates seeing our guys working with and alongside the dirty birds.

Rupp called Casey His Money Man

Mike Phillips should be on that list.

Honorable mention for Big Jon,since we never got to see him play, but a worthy addition anyway.

Wow man, you have been around a while. Got any teeth left? Just jerking your chain, thanks for the info, it is good to hear about these guys.

It was a pretty tasteless thread name, even for KWilt...no offense KWilt but you've started better threads. (At least thread names...)
