Unknown white kid on mid-major who rains 3's on SU in the Dome.
When I was in HS, a kid who recently moved from Boston gave me a heads-up on this guy at UMass, Julius Erving. I also remember him telling me about a RB at West Texas St. named Mercury Morris, also never on TV.How did people see DR J in college? He played at UMass and I never once saw them on TV. Are the people saying him people who went to the games? As a pro, no doubt one of the most exciting but I wonder how people say that about him in college. I was a HUGE fan and I never really heard of him until the Virginia Squires.
Sura was all set to go to Siena before he flipped.Bob Sura was an incredibly player at FSU. Sura, Edwards, and Cassell really had a good thing going on that team.

NiceIt's interesting to get the perspectives here.
If the category is exciting...it's not just great players who make some spectacular plays.
It's being able to electrify almost every time they touched the ball.
Very few players mentioned here had that quality.
Besides Doc, Thompson, Maravich and Murphy...
Pearl qualified.
I'd say Iverson but am precluded from doing so because of where he played.
And Clyde Drexler and Phi Slamma Jamma.
But the only college player of this century who would make the list is Ja Morant.
You gotta be that level of electric.
Doing non-Cuse guys for me (born in '79 for reference):
Going to try to find guys I didn't see mentioned too many times above.
Hank Gathers
Steph Curry
Grant Hill
K-Mart
LJ
Stacey Augmon
Baron Davis
Stackhouse
My favorite non-Cuse player from back in the day was Kerry Kittles. He was so explosive and dunked like he was angry at the basket.
Random: does anyone remember Keon Clark on UNLV? We played them in the Dome early in I believe the 1996-97 season and he put on a surreal dunk spectacle.
God don't strike me down for this but iverson. The kid was electric to watch.
