Let's Remember Some Big Ten Guys

And they still had the #9 defense (on Torvik) in his last year! That team was so messed up - Thomas, then Craft, Scott, Lenzelle Smith, Sam Thompson…just a team built on the Iverson principle (1 scorer, 4 guys to account for the scorers failure to defend).

Yeah I think mgl has to be the one and only Shannon Scott stan :rofl:

he was a pretty big bust. And I saw the kid in HS, he was nearby, so I didn’t have ill will towards him like I did some OSU players

He wasn’t bad, just entirely unremarkable especially for a 5*

i know he already got mentioned but i always thought sam thompson was so cool - very nice smile and could dunk the smithereens out of the ball even if he couldn’t do anything else on offense

Shawn Respert

My dad took me and my brother to go see State at Welsh-Ryan as a kiddo and they just wrecked Northwestern. Respert was clearly the coolest dude on the floor. Remember being confused why so few people were there. Not even sure in retrospect why we went, we were a UM family.
