Pick players from past rosters who you’d always like to have on UK teams (no superstars, just glue guys)

[812scottj]

Past players who were tough minded and competitive. Some of my picks:
Deandre Liggins
Heshumu Evans
Gerald Fitch
Ramel Bradley
Winston Bennet
Magloire

My 5 plus a reserve (Magloire might be outside of the parameters since I think he was an NBA all star?).

 

[UKCowboys]

Dominique Hawkins
DeAndre Liggins
Josh Harrellson
Julius Mays
Reid Travis
Darius Miller
Charles Hurt
Jay Scheidler
Dickie Beal

Good list. Mu was such an underrated player that could do a bit of everything. While he didn't play a ton, Ravi Moss would be on my list along with those guys. I loved that dude.

[megablue]

Ulis
Epps
Hawkins
Miller
Mintz
Brown
Poythress
Turner
Daniels
Claytor

 

[Cowtown Cat]

No Chucky Hayes?!

 

[BC_Wader]

GREAT one @Cowtown Cat! If only we could have a whole team full of guys with the heart that man had playing for us!

 

[gonefishin]

Mu Evans and Hayes were the first two that came to mind.

 

[CB3UK]

Chuck Hayes
Anthony Epps
Heshimu Evans
Darius Miller

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Deron Fedhaus was a horse for his size! Loved that dude!

 

[storm1507]

Lavon Williams
Reggie Hanson
Deron Feldhouse
Erik Daniels
Darius Miller
Trent Noah.... maybe, hopefully, etc

 

[812scottj]

I thought Hayes was too good to make the list, but love the guy

 

[rivercatinfl]

Hawkins was really good. I liked Kyle Macy too. James Lee stuck his elbow down the basket on those monster dunks and was a big body guy.

 

[true-blue1]

H Evans
C Hayes
D Miller
W Bennett

 

[BetterThanYou]

Guards: Saul Smith, Savhir Wheeler

Power Forward: Bobby Perry

Center: Mark Coury

 

[paulcalhoun_rivals397471]

No Chucky Hayes?!

I assumed he ranked too high to qualify for inclusion based on the parameters set for this. I had assumed Ulis, Turner, and Evans were not allowed either. I'm not claiming to be the authority on this but it is subjective and those were my thoughts.

 

[paulcalhoun_rivals397471]

Hawkins was really good. I liked Kyle Macy too. James Lee stuck his elbow down the basket on those monster dunks and was a big body guy.

Macy was an All American so I consider it safe to say he does not qualify for this.

 

[The Ganner]

Put Darius on this year's team or any year's team. He'd be our emergency point guard, a spot up shooter, defender, rebounder. Can play/defend 1 through 4. Unselfish, will be wharever role we need him to be

 

[Bigtyrone]

Erik Daniels
Chuck Hayes if he meets the criteria
Gerald Fitch
Dominique Hawkins
Darius Miller

 

[paulcalhoun_rivals397471]

Ulis
Epps
Hawkins
Miller
Mintz
Brown
Poythress
Turner
Daniels
Claytor

I tried to avoid repeating those already listed but Dale Brown is an excellent choice that I had overlooked.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

Lamont Butler, Liggins, Poythress, Sestina, Travis Reid.

 

[FactsOrOpinions]

Liggins ended up being so consistent. He was automatic as far as you knew he would show up and compete. One of my favorite Cats ever. That team with Jorts will always be special.

 

[storm1507]

Chuck Vederber
Freddie Cowan
Roger Hardin

[storm1507]

Mike Flynn
Bob Guyette
Larry Johnson

 

[UK_Kelly]

Jasper
Perry Stevenson
Hawkins Cliff and Dom
Evans
Hayes

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Basically the entire 1998 team.

 

[rivercatinfl]

Macy was an All American so I consider it safe to say he does not qualify for this.

Fair

 

[Rick Honcho]

Charles Hurt

There’s a huge gap before the next guy on this list…

 

[Tcattn2]

Davender or Minniefield
Fitch or Brassow
D. Miller or Mu Evans
Prickett or McCarty
Estill or Riddick
depending on need these guys would not back up

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

To qualify as a glue guy, I'm only selecting from guys who averaged less than 12ppg. Anyone who made a first or second team All-SEC or was an NBA lottery pick is disqualified, as I'd classify that as a star.

ALL-20s GLUE TEAM
PG - Lamont Butler (2025)
SG - Davion Mintz (2022)
SF - Adou Thiero (2024)

ALL-10s GLUE TEAM

[ORCAT102521]

Epps
Fitch
Butler

All were tough.
All winners.
All made clutch plays.

 

[theBlues]

Charles Hurt

There’s a huge gap before the next guy on this list…

I liked him a lot. But I sometimes get him confused with Big Jim Slade.

 

[Jonathan40330]

Cliff Hawkins, Erik Daniels, Josh Harrelson, Darius Miller

 

[UK Cats in FL]

Past players who were tough minded and competitive. Some of my picks:
Deandre Liggins
Heshumu Evans
Gerald Fitch
Ramel Bradley
Winston Bennet
Magloire

My 5 plus a reserve (Magloire might be outside of the parameters since I think he was an NBA all star?).

Bogans, Fitch and Hayes are the first to come to mind, then going back further you always need a James Lee/ Bennett type also.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

Hard to top Darius Miller. Could play 2-4 and did everything reasonably well.

Always loved Dale Brown as well.

 

[812scottj]

Bogans is UK’s fourth all time leading scorer with almost 2,000 points. Yep…I’d take a guy like him on every single team
