Chris20 wrote:Lame list. It explicitly says the criteria was contributions in college, not entire basketball (NBA) career.....then it lists a bunch of 1 year guys from Kentucky and Memphis. Camby should be ahead of Davis, no doubt. And Roe should be much higher as a 4 year player. Roe's senior year was better than most of those listed - nevermind the fact that he was productive in the other 3 as well.

And the omission of Jeff Meyer is criminal.


If that's the criteria how can Harper Williams and Tony Barbee be excluded?

Right. If overall contributions are the criteria, hard to see any of the one and done guys, other than A. Davis, beating out 4 year guys that went deep in the tourney and scored 1000+ points. Was Edgar Padilla as good as Derek Rose? No, but his college career was more prolific.

Just another silly list, fun to look at, terribly flawed.

I look at it as more good PR for the basketball program for the high school players who know who Cal is and may not know our history.

Definitely. With Cal's rep as the guy who gets 3-5 Top 10 recruits every year, nice to see we have 30% of the list at good ol' UMass.

Please you guys with Twitter please shout out appreciation to MC for his help in recruiting Jazz and Gumbo. (Which one is Jazz, anyway?)

I assume Jazz is Jarreau and Gumbo is Gresham. Makes sense to me. G for G and J for J.

^ Where did these nicknames come from? I sure hope it wasn't from us. If they had them in NOLA I'm fine with them.
