Phil Sellers, Quincy Douby, James Bailey, Eddie Jordan, Mike Dabney,John Battle, Roy Hinson, Bobby Lloyd were all pretty good players just to name a few. Sorry if I missed a few others. I think they all were in the modern era.
Lol not one kid on the roster probably knows or remembers any of those names. We have 0 notable nba alums in reality
First team All American. Olympic Gold Medalist. 2X WNBA Champion and WNBA Finals MVP. 7X WNBA All Star. 3X WNBA First Team. In 2011 was named one of the league's Top 15 Players of all Time.
Yeah, I think she's easily the greatest in his lifetime.

Sue Wicks was the Women's National College Player of the Year in 1988. I think that counts unless that's considered the Dark Ages.
Mathis isn't the one that said Pondexter was the greatest RU hoopster in the "modern era", a poster did. Hell, Mathis was 5 when Pondexter graduated.

In terms of WB at RU
Sue Wicks >>> anyone else...period (even Cappie)

Wicks was also from an era that saw very, very little television coverage for women's basketball - much less exposure than Cappie got during her time here. The WNBA didn't even start until she was already 31. She'd hardly be on the radar for a 19 year old kid today.
Why are some of you questioning Mathis choice? All of us can look at the same picture and see something different. Mathis decision is based on his exposure and knowledge of Rutgers basketball.
Well, for those who are over 45 but not over 70, maybe. Sellers last played at Rutgers 40 years ago, and Bailey 39 years ago.
He is certainly among the favorites, but he really didn't do much until he was a Jr.

Would we know another grad, perhaps a prominent poster, from that Prep School?
Remember when it was reported she would dunk in a game? All the media showed up but Coach Grentz had warned her not to do it...in warmups we, the Band, were egging her on to do it...she went up as if to dunk but finger rolled it in....we razzed her a little but we also saw Coach Grentz standing by the bench, arm crossed, glaring at us....
Wicks would often grab the rim in warm ups. I'm very skeptical that she was actually capable of dunking though. She was so much better than her competition and we kicked the crap out of most teams back then that in games I think she sometimes was as just as motivated to put on a show for the fans as anything.
Was a frosting 66-67. Lloyd and Valvano made an exciting duo. Still remember going to NYC for three of the NIT games(missed SIU game).
However 76 team would have killed them
