[susan2361]

This has nothing to do with their basketball playing expertise,...

Kyle Macy
Jay Shidler "The Blonde Bomber"

I had MAJOR crushes my freshman year

 

[DreadLox]

Lee Huber. My Dad was a friend of his back in the day.
Derek and Dwight Anderson. Both seemed very cool though in very different ways.

 

[Ripcord65]

My all-time favorite was and is Cotton Nash - three-time All American. My second favorite is Johnny Cox from the 1958 NCAA Champs. A lot of the reason that I always liked Cox was that I saw him lead Hazard H.S. to the Championship of the State Tournament in 1955. Riley, Dampier, and Larry Conley. I always like Derrick Hord. He was a great player as a junior. Joe B. ruined him when he was a senior. Others: Gerald Fitch; Winston Bennett; Kenny Walker; Delk; Epps; Jeff Sheppard.
And I can't leave off "The Blur." I'll never forget seeing Dwight Anderson single-handedly take down Kelly Tripucka and No. 2 Notre Dame at Freedom Hall on December 30, 1978. Probably my favorite U.K. game of all time.

 

[H00SIER-Cat]

Lots of folks showing their age.

Kenny Walker
Tony Delk
Oscar
DeAaron Fox

Isaiah Jackson on a throwaway year could have been the missing piece for some other very good teams

I rooted like crazy for Lance Ware. He wasn't very good but seemed like an awesome kid.
