You have to be good to be a favorite.

If you push me enough, I may put Walker above Beasley. His attitude on the court was out of this world awesome.

The Chalmers elbow, throwing the ball at him, the technicals, the screaming  of "AND ONE!".....damn I'll miss it.

[yosh]

I assume you are defining "era" = "far back as you can remember independently taking a personal interest in the team to present time"

1. Mitch - pretty much started it all for me...was an awesome pro too
2. Martin - Huge softspot for him because he came to KSU when there when it completely defied any logic or reason.  
3. Beaz - Best player in KSU history
4. Henson - Robin to Mitch's Batman
5. Massey - Fun to watch.  Euro youtubes have boosted stock
6. Walker -  
7. Hatcher - Last top flight guard in a K-State uniform (Clemente?  )
8. Davis - Workhorse
9. Hoskins - Perimeter player with a post game, not a post player with a perimeter game.    
10. Coleman - Probably underated here, but I was barely aware at the time.


My memories of Nealy and Ro are much more based in watching them as pros.  I was too young to really pay attention when they played in college.  Zero memory of Evans or Williams.

[pissclams]

i gave Ro a "what's up Ro" once in the hallway in Eisenhower when he came back to work on his degree (i think he was working on his masters maybe?).  he looked shocked someone recognized him, smiled, waved, and kept walkin.


sup Ro?

That's it. I pretty much hate the rest.

96-97 and no Shawn Rhodes on your list?  No love for the Australian sensation Pero?  How about some love for Loe Leonard?  Oh, I guess I'm really just making a list of tall, skinny, goofy looking white guys now.  And you all know who would headline that list......

[j4ksu]

The big white guys. Tyler Hughes and Jason Bennett.
The possibility of having those two on the floor together.

[fatty fat fat]

2. Martin - Huge softspot for him because he came to KSU when there when it completely defied any logic or reason. 

Really? GMAFB, he was top 60. Dudes like that often go to random schools.

#1 and #7 prospects NEVER go to places that haven't been to the NCAA's in 12 (!!!!) years.

[PurpleReign]

1. Massey (Dunking on white dudes from texas and flexing)
2. Walker (16 and 9 as a frosh while getting zero calls from any ref, high bbiq, ksu fans need to stop hating this guy)
3. Beas (insane numbers, super efficient, should have played to his immature/bad boy rep to move up my list)
4. Hoskins = beast
5. Akeem Wright (most versatile player we have had since i've been watching ksu bball)
6. Cartier - silky smooth
7. Reid (OG of my KSU basketball experiences)

Any dude who wears a SKI necklace and drops 60+ in Madison Square Garden as he's checking out gets my vote.
