Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3772828, member: 289"] I was leafing through my ESPN College Basketball Encyclopedia, (which came out after the 2008-09 season), and noticed that they picked an all-time team for each school. Here’s ours: Syracuse: Derrick Coleman, John Wallace, Billy Owens, Dave Bing, Sherman Douglas. They are listing Coleman as a center, which he basically was during the 1988-89 season, (our consensus choice for our most talented team as it had 3 of these five players on it). You could argue for Carmelo but it would be close between him and J-Dub or Billy and he was here just the one year, (but what a year). I decided to look up the all-time teams of some other schools and see which ones seemed the most impressive, (again, consider this is through the 2008-09 season): Cincinnati: Danny Fortson, Kenyon Martin, Jack Twyman, Steve Logan, Oscar Robertson Connecticut: Emeka Okafor, Walt Dropo, Richard Hamilton, Ray Allen, Chris Smith WALT DROPO? [URL="http://huskieshoops.com/huskies/men/players/dropow.php"]UConn Huskies Stats - Walt Dropo[/URL] Well, he had a heck of a rookie year for the Red Sox. DePaul: George Mikan, Dave Corzine, Mark Aguirre, Tom Kleinschmidt, David Booth Duke: Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Art Heyman, Johnny Dawkins, Bobby Hurley Georgetown: Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Reggie Williams, Allen Iverson, Eric Floyd Holy Cross: George Kaftan, Togo Palazzi, Tom Heinsohn, Ronnie Perry, Bob Cousy Houston: Hakeem Olajuwon, Elvin Hayes, Clyde Drexler, Oris Birdsong, Don Cheney Indiana: Walt Bellamy, George McGinnis, Scott May, Steve Alford, Isiah Thomas Kansas: Wilt Chamberlain, Clyde Lovelette, Danny Manning, Paul Pierce, Jo Jo White Kentucky: Dan Issel, Cliff Hagan, Jack Givens, Frank Ramsey, Ralph Beard (I think that line-up would change if it were updated to the present) LaSalle: Tom Gola, Lionel Simmons, Michael Brooks, Ken Durrett, Larry Cannon (Where’s Jellybean?) LSU: Shaquille O’Nealle Bob Pettit, Rudy Macklin, Pete Maravich, Chris Jackson Louisville: Wes Unseld, Charlie Tyra, Pervis Ellison, Darrell Griffith. LaBradford Smith Marquette: Jim Chones, Bo Ellis, Dwayne Wade, George Thompson, Butch lee Michigan: Rudy Tomjanovich, Chris Webber, Glen Rice, Cazzie Russell, Gary grant Michigan State: Johnny Green, Greg Kelser, Steve Smith, Scott Skiles, Magic Johnson Nevada-Las Vegas: Sidney Green, Larry Jonson, Eddie Owens, Stacey Augmon, Greg Anthony North Carolina: Tyler Hansbrough, Lennie Rosenbluth, Antawn Jamison, Michael Jordan, Phil Ford NC State: Tom Burleson, Ronnie Shavlik, David Thompson, Julius Hodge, Rodney Monroe Notre Dame: John Shumate, Troy Muphy, Adrian Dantley, Kevin O’Shea, Austin Carr Ohio State: Jerry Lucas, Dennis Hopson, John Havlicek, Jim Jackson, Robin Freeman Oklahoma: Stacey King, Wayman Tisdale, Blake Griffin, Tim McCalister, Mookie Blaylock Oklahoma State: Bob Kurland, Bryant Reeves, Byron Houston, Desmond Mason, Tony Allen Providence: Marvin Barnes, Ryan Gomes, Austin Croshere, Jimmy Walker, Ernie DiGregorio Purdue: Joe Barry Carroll, Glenn Robinson, terry Dischinger, Dave Schellhase, Rick Mount St. Bonaventure: Bob Lanier, Tom Stith, Essie Hollis, Whitey Martin, Fred Crawford (No Jimmy Satalin?) St. John’s: Walter Berry, Tony Jackson, Chris Mullin, Dick McGuire, Mark Jackson San Francisco: Bill Russell, Bill Cartwright, Mike Farmer. Quintin Dailey, KC Jones Seton Hall: Walter Dukes, Mark Bryant, Nick Werkman, Richie Regan, Terry Dehere Tennessee: Dale Ellis, Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld, Alan Houston, Chris Lofton UCLA: Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton, Sidney Wicks, Gail Goodrich, Walt Hazzard. Utah Billy McGill, Andrew Bogut, Keith Van Horn, Arnie Ferrin, Andre Miller Villanova: Ed Pinckney, Howard Porter, Paul Arizin, Kerry Kittles, Randy Foye Wake Forest: Dickie Hemric, Tim Duncan, Len Chappell, Randolph Childress, Chris Paul West Virginia: Mark Workman, Rod Thorn, Rod Hundley, Wil Robinson, Jerry West Wichita State: Cliff Levingston, Dave Stallworth, Xavier McDaniel, Cleo Littlejohn, Warren Armstrong I think our team would beat a lot of those. I guess I’d have to favor that UCLA to win a tournament of them but Houston also looks pretty strong and LSU might actually be the best. Certainly, they’d be the most fun. [/QUOTE]
