Seeing Rodney Green and Steven Smith on that list just makes me cringe thinking about the missed opportunities we had when they were playing here

Seeing Rodney Green and Steven Smith on that list just makes me cringe thinking about the missed opportunities we had when they were playing here Honorable mention more so for their stats than their play. They both had excellent campaigns here, but are nowhere near the top 5...in my opinion. |

He was a better college player than Rasual Butler was IMO. Randy Woods and Donnie Carr are a push. I loved both of them. |

Correct me if I am wrong but Townes didn't leave early. He was a prop 48 and therefore only had 3 years of eligibility.

Perhaps the writer should research a bit before write about a player "you've never heard of." I wrote that section and you are correct. I found nothing on the Prop 48, but did see that he was in the draft for that year. I'll correct. Thanks. |

Joe,
I sent Aaron a note about this. First, not sure that is Rasual in that picture. Doesn't really look like him.
Also, I believe Kareem is out. Rasual tweeted something a few weeks back about going to work out with him and someone else. Might want to double-check that.

You know, I saw that too, but if he did the full 10 year mandatory sentence, he should still be there. I took it out anyway.
Butler was 45, right...I think that is him.

About a month ago I happened to talk to agent that took down kareem and he believed that he was still inside.

The top 5 have to be:
1. Lionel - National POY. 3K scorer. NBA talent.
2. Rasual - 2K scorer and good rebounder. NBA talent.
3. Smith (2-time A10 Player of the Year). Appeared in NBA but could not stick.
4. Overton - Very good unselfish guard. NBA talent.
5. Woods - Very good scorer. NBA talent.
6. Carr - great scorer. Did not make NBA
7. Townes - great scorer. Did not make NBA
8. Legler - made himself great 3 point shooter. Made NBA through persistence.
9. Green - not a point guard. Did not make NBA

My five: Lionel, Doug, Randy, Kareem and Rasual
Donnie played hard, but he never did anything to approach Randy's 1991-92 season. 27 points, 6 rebounds 5 assists and 2 steals per game, not to mention 33 points in an NCAA Tournament near-upset. When he had it going, no one was ever more fun to watch, either. If not for his "rust" in 1989-90, that would have been a Final Four team.
