Best 9 Billiken Players you have seen


Recommended Posts

I'm going 9 since the pick 3 thread had 9 to choose from. 

I never saw Bonner play as I got here Feb 20, 1990. I listened to games on the radio with him playing but I can't remember seeing him live or on TV so I'm not going to count him 

Not really in order but close

1.Hughes

2.Claggs

3.JGood 

4.Jett

5.Marquee 

6.Lisch

7. Has

8. Evans

9. Love

Varner wasn't horrible for his time.  No worst list is to be taken seriously without Sekue Barantine

Very true but the horror that is Sekue is timeless.....

Sekue is kind of our George Mikan of worst players.  Brett Jolly is Bill Russell.  He changed what we thought bad basketball could be.

Varner was straight terrible.  

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/ross-varner-1.html 

He played 16 mins a game his senior year, shot 13/40 from 2 on a terrible team.  2.6 pts per game and 2 rebounds.  Pathetic.  

He wouldnt miss in warm ups though.  so thats good

wondering for those of you with "worst" lists, how hankton isnt included. 

Because he was never expected to do much.  Its the same reason the iceland guy isnt on there.  

Soderberg had Dixon and Ikeakor as the showpieces of his ~2006 recruiting class.  I will never forget him hyping up Dixon.  Man we sucked.

The better question is which Jolly moment was his masterpiece? The time he shot the ball over the backboard, the time he missed a three pointer 3 feet to the left, or the time Crews went out on the court to shove him 10 feet down the bench?
