    ESPN Greatest College Players

    Looking at who has been selected and who has not been selected, I would submit that the remaining five players to be selected are:

    Maravich
    Robertson
    Russell
    Walton
    Alcinder

    Do you agree and rank them in the order you think they should appear.

    Sure, I will bite. I am uncertain that these are the remaining 5, but if so:

    5 Maravich
    4 Robertson
    3 Alcindor
    2 Russell
    1 Walton


    Bound to be controversial -- if I were going to change anything, I would probably switch Russell and Walton. Fire when ready!

    In honor of our matchup with UVA this week, I feel I should acknowledge the greatest player in NCAA history, Willie Dersch.

    In further honor of the matchup and in appreciation of Danny Meagher, I'll cast one (slightly wet) vote for Tom Sheehy.

    Did I miss something or is Len Bias not on that list?

    Walton is #3

    The last spot would seem to be either Danny Manning or Jerry West. Both IMO deserve to be somewhere in the top 25, but neither really should be #6 or better. Am I missing any other possibles?
    Nice picks so far RW....you just may hit it.

    I was blinded by Pistol Pete's insane talent (I thought #1 insane talent), but #5's not too shabby. Looks like it's down to the Big O and the Skywalker.

    With UNC playing and ESPN covering, a shocking development, they will declare HansTravelFlop #1

    Bias never won a Naismith award (During that time, Ralph Sampson, Patrick Ewing, Jordan, and our own Dawkins won the award.)

    His stats were comparable to Dawkins, and obviously Dawkins won the more national award (but not the ACC award).

    Bias' college career might be a bit high in your mind becaus of the circumstances that ended his career tragically, and how the Celtics fans until this year always considered it the key reason they faded in prominence in the 90s. But top 25 players of college? Not even close.

    OOPS...should be down to Big O and the Skyhook. My sincere apologies to the one and only Skywalker, David Thompson...Remember when DT hit his foot on 6'9" Phil Spence's shoulder and took that terrible fall. Nuff said.

    Your appropriately named Alcindor is coming up!
    Best regards and GTH,C!
    P.S. Hope those attending the game at CIS do not have to endure,as my wife,son,and I did 2 years ago there, the woofing of UNC students who gained admission wearing Duke clothing! Keep 'em out..."Don't mess with Dukesas!"
