    That's right!!! Don't forget Pete Maravich
    Led the league in scoring once or twice I think.
    made a couple all-star appearances.

    Jerry "Ice" Reynolds
    90) Led Magic in steals and blocked shots
    versatle player

    Chris Jackson 92-93 most improved player
    I've seen him take over a game offensively in pro's

    Shaq without a doubt and Bob Petit.

    John Williams played all 5 positions for the Bullets in 1990
    Mr Verstility

    In baseball:
    Ben McDonald although a shortened career: he was outstanding and holds Oriole record for winning first six games of Rookie
    season.

    He started the 89 campaign with 44 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.

    Todd Walker: Red Sox........Pending but looked great this ALCS

    I hesitate to say this but:

    In baseball Albert Belle was one hell of a player for many years.
    In 94 2nd in AL batting average 357 and 3rd with 36 HR's


    football:
    AJ Duhe one of my favorites cause I was a big time
    Dolphin fan back then, NFL all rookie team.

    Dalton Hilliard
    1989 Led NFC with 18 td's and 1776 yards from scrimmage and
    1st probowl.

    Eric Martin:
    Led the Saints in receiving 5 straight years including 1991.
    all-time leading receiver in Saints history.
    at least 1 probowl.

    Michael Brooks
    In 90 Led the Broncos with 175 takles posting 4 of the clubs top ten single game tackle totals.
    Had 20 tackles vs Seattle on 9/23/90

    Leonard Marshall Giants
    85 probowl

    Henry Thomas Vikings
    named to second pro bowl in 92

    Greg Jackson Giants ?

    Bert Jones Colts
    He once completed 36 passes in a game
    Set NFL record with 17 straight completions in 1974

    Eric Hill Cards?

    Ralph Norwood and Eric Andolsek what could've been?
    Stanley Roberts?

    Stromile and Jabari
    Alan Fanica and Kevin Mawae, Kevin Faulk, Denard Walker,
    Mark Roman, Jarvis Green, Double D, Toefield, Rohann Davey

    All Pending.............

    A lot of these guys had short careers but they sure could take
    over a game or make a big impact.

    Mawae is great too. Pro-Bowler almost every year. Impressive when two of the NFL's best O-Linemen are from LSU.

    I was friends with Craig Nall growing up and he did the best thing he could do to get some face time in front of the pros.



    Another guy I went to school in the same town, and was in the same social circles was Kenny Mixon. That guy has been great in the pros. He'll have at least 4 more years as a starter. He's with the Vikes now.

    Dennis Gaubatz. Middle Linebacker for Colts in Super Bowl III, and I believe he was an All-Pro.
