I think they did a good job based on their individual accomplishments, but one miss for me would be Wes Johnson who was BE POY, 1st team AA and a 9 year NBA veteran.

No Geno Thorpe?

That's the other list.

A bit skewed due to trying to get non football, non basketball players.

And I respect that. As I said in my 1st comment, it looks like they based it on individual accomplishments. Also, a few national champions which is always a good place to start.

You can always make up your own list, but I thought overall the DO put a lot of thought into it. Except for my man, Wes Johnson. You can't exclude him.

Honestly, it's a pretty good list. Would have subbed Wes in for Walter Reyes IMO, but impressive reach done by the the students

 

[CuseFan]

Great list. I would have put Gerry Mc ahead of Hakim, but overall nice work.

 

[ar inj]

Great list; not much to quibble about

No Brittany Sikes for women's basketball she was an integral part of the final 4 team. She was the best all around player.

 

[Visionkueth]

Emily Hawryschuk should be on this list.

 

[DoubleDee]

No Scott McCorkle?
