    Anybody else cast their vote over on LSU Sports.net? You vote for 15 players and the team will be announced later in the year.

    There's a lot of good players on the list but 5 appear to be locks.
    Petit
    Maravich
    Macklin
    Jackson
    O Neal
    Those 5 are pretty obvious.

    Kenny Higgs should also be a lock. So should the rebounding machine, Al Sanders.

    Well, I'd have to put about ten players above those two, as much as I like them.

    Leonard Mitchell
    John Williams
    Ethan Martin
    Howard Carter
    Sparky Wade
    Greg Cook
    DeWayne Scales
    Geert Hammink
    Jerry Reynolds
    Derrick Taylor

    I know I am biased because he is from my home town but does anyone else believe that Bobby Lowther should be a shoe-in on this team?

    He was a solid backup for Shaq for three years and in his only year as a starter, he was all-SEC. He played professionally in the NBA and in Europe. Shaq, Cookie Man, and Geert were the three best centers.

    Geert was a nice player but I don't think he should be on the all century team.

    I voted for Williams, he only played two years but certainly was one of the most talented players to ever play for LSU and he led his team to the final four.
