    Lawrence Roberts

    th?id=H.4732771376433933&pid=15.1

    Transferred from Baylor (after that Patrick Dennehy murder) to Mississippi State and had them hooping. Was SEC Player of the Year in 2004 and 1st Team All-American in 2004 and 2005. I thought he'd be respectable in the league. Played a couple of years and went overseas...


    Darren Brooks

    th?id=H.5062611956859745&pid=15.1

    Was back-to-back Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley when the conference was considered as the best league outside of the power conferences. I swear it seems like dude was at SIU for about 8 years lol...Had a nice all-around game, I thought he would get a little run in the league but he didn't. Played overseas for a minute and is a coach now.

    Juan Dixon smh man Maryland aint been da same since he left I thought he was gonna be on beast mode especially after da Wizards drafted him if u would said 10 years ago dat Steve Blake would have a betta NBA career i woulda smacked da ? outta u lol

    dixon was my mans but he had a respectable nba career and had his flashes....injuries delayed his career but i don't think anyone thought he would become a star coming out of college...but his jumper was money and he had a smooth overall game, he was just too undersized and lacked explosiveness to take that next level...

    john gilchrist- another maryland cat who made a big mistake by coming back after that crazy tournament run

    mike jones- #2 player behind lebron coming out of HS....got hyped up as the next ray allen.....missed out on potential millions by not going straight to the league...

    Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the guys who were great players in college but couldn't really get a career going in the league for whatever reason. Some of my favorite college players coming up were either two small, too slow, or had too many personal problems to have established pro careers. Here's starting it off...

    Julius Hodge- dude was a beast in the ACC, heard he got shot when he first got in the league and then he just fizzled out..

    0312juliushodge.JPG

    Maurice Clarett- star back from that 2002 National Champ OSU team. ? his life up after that, but he was a monster as a freshman.

    ohio-state-maurice-clarett-benefits-BB5I6JL-x-large.jpg

    Scottie Reynolds- How the hell are you 1st team All-American and not even get drafted? Dude has yet to log an NBA minute, but he and the rest of that 4 guard lineup at Villanova were tough though. Put a smile on my face how they ran Duke out the gym in the tourney in '09...

    scottie_reynolds--300x300.jpg

    Man that ? ? me up, Scottie Reynolds was that ? . How Kendall Marshall gets picked top 15, but Reynolds goes undrafted. Ridiculous.

    Hate to do this, but pretty much the entire 2002 OU Basketball Final Four Squad

    Which included one of my Best friends, Ebi Ere, and Hollis Price.

    s_ere_i.jpg6805168.jpeg

    They're both playing overseas.

    Ebi played a couple years Summer league for the Trailblazers.
    He kinda gave up on the league because he's making good money overseas and endorsements in Italy and Australia.

    Not sure what Hollis is up to now.

    Ironically, only one that's in the pros now from that squad is Kelvin Sampson. lol


    SAMPSON_bw_sports__t300.jpg?8aff03de2423e912a2467e97388a07f5331c05b6

    Rockets assistant now.

    Hollis was dope, I remember both them ? .
    There was a third dude on that team too that used to ball. Who am I thinking of bruh?
