Man the names keep coming out and the list is getting so long. We forget all of the great layers we had, both starters and role players. Brown did bring in a lot of great ones over the years. Blanton and Nikita, 2 very small centers that competed so well against guys so much bigger than them at center, Redden, maybe the best pure shooter to ever play at LSU, may he rest in peace. Reynols and Scales, maybe the best 2 ahtletes along with Dupree to ever grace a Tigah uniform. Willie Simms, MR excitement, Ethan Martin, so quick that after a couple of trips down the floor Bobby Knight took Isiah off of him cause Martin was making look like he was standing in quicksand, I couldn't believe it when he didn't make it in the NBS. Howard Carter, the most heralded player of the Brown early years. Was never quite the player people had projected him to be but 4 solid years and a great attitude, Durand Macklin, the best "go to" guy I ever saw play for us, found his space about 10-12 feet from the basket and dared guys at least 5-7 inces taller than him to block it. Also our best garbage man, picked up the trash and deposited it. John Williams, ate himself out of millions of dollars, just lke Stanley Roberts. Williams was the most highly sought after player in the country and Dale got him, only the lord knows what went on behind his recruiting, so smooth for a big man with all the shots, it's a shame he never stayed around to develope and work of fthe baby fat, how good could he have become with a good head on his shoulders. Leonard Mitchell and Greg cooks, warriors. Livington, poor guy, how good he was and then had to play on bad wheels. Henderson was a good one too. To me Chris Jackson was the ignigma, so talented, pretty much invented the cross over dribble on a national scale. But I really believe he hated Shaq or hated having him on the same team and that hurt us real bad and kept us from winning a championship.
If there had been a 3-point shot when Howard Carter played, he would have been an All American. He had a deadly, automatic long shot from the corner.
Is that the Stanley Livingston from "Tennessee Tuxedo and his Tales" or the guy who played Chip Douglas on "My Three Sons"? :wink: :grin:
Pete Maravich and also... Shaquille O'Neal Chris Jackson Rudy Macklin Dwayne Scales Bench Howard Carter Leonard Mitchell Vernell Singleton Al Sanders Ethan Martin Derrick Taylor Stromile Swift Jordy Hultberg Willie Sims Ricky Blanton Don Redden Greg Cook Left off some... but ran out of bench. Never saw Bob Pettit play.
I never saw Bob Pettit play either except for an old timers game when he was over 50 and he could still shoot the rock.
Chipeace, you must have never seen John Williams or Nikita Wilson play either or you wouldn't have Jordy Hultberg and Al Sanders on that bench!
