We have had some outstanding leapers over the years. 
[B]Dave Johnson[/B] - The most explosive powerful leaper we ever had, Adios my way cuz here I come.
[B]Wes Johnson[/B] - Wes had the quickest hops.  From stand still to head above rim in a flash it seemed.
[B]Hakim Warrick[/B] - I don't know what is more memorable to me. Hak's one handed tomahawks from 10 feet away or the way he tea bagged that Texas player in the F4. 
[B]Stevie Thompson[/B] - Dude was 6'2" and literally owned the baseline.  Never ever has a 6'2" player been on the receiving end of more alley oops. Receiving the long range snap from Sherm against Indiana was a classic.
[B]Tony "Red" Bruin[/B] - First off Red played 4 seasons at SU from 80-83, not 79-80 as the article states.  The 79/80 season was his freshman year.  Bruin was a NYC high school legend when he came to SU and the greatest leaper I ever saw.  I will swear to my dying days that I once saw him rise for an alley oop from Rautins, hang in mid air then after catching the ball he rose another 4 inches before slamming the ball through the rim bouncing it off the head of the opponent who despite leaping after Red had already fell back to earth! It was one of those Dome moments where the place was silent as we all tried to grasp what we had just witnessed and then just exploded in a frenzy.
