RIP Wes. Probably the greatest basketball player from the state of Kentucky. If not Wes, then who?
Rest In Peace my Seneca teamate Greatest Redskin of all 2 Time Kentucky State Champion❤️I don't even think it's close.
Well, Wes always had that scowl during games. Kids today call it resting bitch faceRIP big fella. We'll miss you.
That OP makes him look a bit like Morpheus from the Matrix.
I saw another article that said he had pneumonia recently. Was that caused by coronavirus?Does it read he possibly he died of Covid?

I heard Rupp really wanted him.
Awh man I hate to hear this I was a huge Wes Fan !!! My prayers go out to his family!
Wes was listed as 6’7” in a lot of places, but actually measured at 6’6 1/2” in bare feet.I saw Wes at the '84 Final Four in Seattle. He was talking to a group of people on the court sideline between games on Saturday. Someone asked him how, at just 6'8" as a center was he able to deal with much taller centers. He said, "i just put my knee between their legs and walked them out to the free throw line". He had huge thighs and rear, and used that to his advantage. Seemed like a good guy.
RIP, Wes.
Great outlet passes after rebounds is what I remember most about his game
That Western team vacated the UK win because Jim McDaniels had an agent which made him ineligible.FYIWhen I was in junior high school (called middle school now) Wes, Butch Beard, and one of the UofL coaches came to my school to recruit one of our high school players. (He would become a starter at WKU, a team that went to the Final Four -- including a 26-point shellacking of UK in the NCAA tournament.)
Beard looked as tall as Unseld, but Unseld seemed like the biggest guy I had ever seen. He was a mean-looking SOB, but I have heard that he was a gentle giant.

I'd say you're correct. Some could argue Beard, but I agree on Wes. He was one of two players to win MVP his rookie year in the NBA. That's astoundingBest player to ever come out of Kentucky. His stats in college were pretty amazing. Rip.
Maybe larger!!!Dont know if true, but remember hearing he had 36” thighs.
Beard isn’t in the Hall of FameI'd say you're correct. Some could argue Beard, but I agree on Wes. He was one of two players to win MVP his rookie year in the NBA. That's astounding
