Your favorite former Cat

[Blueaz]

70s Roby
80s Walker
90s Mashburn
00s Bogans
10s Wall

Tsk, tsk tsk and smh. A MOD can’t follow the rules. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Newcattitudes]

Issel
Grevey
Kenny Walker
Kyle Macy
Mike Casey

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Fairly decent, are you being sarcastic? Issel's career stats in the NBA were 20.4 ppg, 31.1 mpg, and close to 8 rebounds per game. That was with the Nuggets form 76-85. Not very many that played in the league ever achieved those kind of stats for so long.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. I’m perfectly aware he’s a Hall of Famer. I said that because the criteria for the thread was that your favorite player was not supposed to be a good pro.

 

[Blueaz]

Gimel
Poy
Toomer (he was an incredibly nice guy)
Hurt
Sheppard

Just a rebel and a wild man.

 

[sefleming]

Also Anthony Epps

Who was your favorite former Wildcat? Here's the twist, you can't include guys who went on to be great or even good pros.

There is a thread about Monk on here that kind of inspired me to create this thread. Some people tend to forget that you can be a fantastic college player and NOT go on to be a pro.

Some of my favorites?
Tyler Ulis
Patrick Sparks
Jeff Shepherd
Malik Monk

Just curious what some of you guys and gals think. Thought it might be a fun thread.

I’m gonna go pre Cal era bc there are so many in the cal era lol...

I was obsessed with Tony Delk

Epps

Wayne Turner (98 Duke game!)


Padgett (98 Duke game!)
loved me some Jeff Shepherd

Patrick Sparks

Mercer and Anderson

 

[Tinker Dan]

James Lee
Padgett
Macy
Heshimu Evans
Azubuike

 

[MbergCat]

This thread turned out pretty awesome! Lots of names that aren't necessarily forgotten, just put on the back burner. I've also gotten a decent chuckle from the ones who didn't follow the rules.

Btw, isn't is great being a Cats fan? No one else has a family this big. Oh, and just in case anybody was wondering, Madness is upon us!

 

[sg24_]

Mash
AD
MKG

Reread the original post, lol.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Mark Pope.

 

[BassProCat]

Marvin stone lol Sike

But damn no love for Chuck Hayes?!?! Y’all suck :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[Backer cutter]

If I had to pick just one, Jay Shidler.

 

[anon_dge1vx8o0wnm7]

Reread the original post, lol.

Well in that case I’ll go with Payshaun Trince, underrated UK career imo

 

[bigbluelou]

Doron Lamb

For me, easily the unsung hero of the 2012 title team. Kid had ice water in his veins. Could shoot lights out but also drive and score in the craftiest of ways.

 

[bigbluelou]

Marvin stone lol Sike

But damn no love for Chuck Hayes?!?! Y’all suck :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I think everyone with a heart and brain loved Chuck Hayes. But he did have a pretty decent, serviceable NBA career, though not spectacular. Probably the best 6'4-6'5 center in the modern era.

I don’t think I’d considered 3 ppg & 5 rpg a pretty decent career. He def played a long time in the league and made some good money and was prolly a great teammate but I’d say Hayes fits under OP’s guidelines.

...I'll allow it.

Thank you.

 

[Bill Withers]

Mike Phillips and Bob Burrow

 

[Mojocat_rivals48469]

Stock answer to this question is DA + MKG. I think I now have to add Fox to that list.

But given the way it's framed this time.....don't understand how Ulis isn't the runaway winner......

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Jamal Mashburn. Forever

 

[FinancialPlannerZac]

No love for Rashaad Carruth? Haha!

 

[FinancialPlannerZac]

How about this one? I loved me some Lukasz Orbzut. The dude tried as hard as he could, and when he'd make a nice play.... WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[KFuqua]

Jay Shidler! I was a huge fan of the blonde bomber!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Wayne turner

Me too.

Kid's four years went like this:

- national title
- runner-up
- national title
- Elite Eight

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

No love for Rashaad Carruth? Haha!

He's on my post-probation all-transfer team with Rhodes, Matthews, Parker, and Michael Bradley.

 

[JimBR_rivals319758]

Ronnie Lyons
Mike Flynn
Larry Steele

 

[BBUK_anon]

I liked Kyle Macy back in his playing days but now it's Cuz and Wall second. Good people. I will never forget that interview with Boogie playing with Wall's ear....

That's what I was hoping. In reality, I did not even know that he was that productive in his latter years so you caused me to look it up, lol.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

How about this one? I loved me some Lukasz Orbzut. The dude tried as hard as he could, and when he'd make a nice play.... WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yes, very limited skill wise but gave 110% every game.

 

[Jazzycat]

Kyle Macy
Brandon Knight


Smart, steady, clutch shooters who knew how to be floor generals...

 

[NCPurplecat]

Dan Issel.. played in simpler times but a great rep of UK.

 

[CatStucknWA]

Can't believe no one chose Brad...

[Wall2Boogie]

His nba career didn’t amount to much, but Matt pilgrim should be on this list. Dude was an absolute terror in practices
