Was just thinking with the golden era of MU hoops predominantly during the freshmen can't play era and Al having a decent amount of guys that left early (for the era). How many have gone to 4? Its got to be an pretty elite group
Kam Stevie and Jop are trying to join.
Cadougan
Lazar, Cubillian
3 Amigos + Burke (why wasn't he an amigo?)
How many from the Hank & Al era outside of Ellis?
Otule went to five.
MU made consecutive tournaments in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
All you have to do is find four year players that attended all years in that range. That's the answer. I'm too lazy to do the leg work, but it isn't that difficult to figure out.
Chones, it's why he's the GOAT.

3 Amigos were highly rated recruits that all came in with a lot of hype (mostly deserved), and started all four years. All three were all-Big East at one point or another, had great college careers, and are MU legends. Burke was in that class, but he was a role player, and did not start all four years. No disrespect intended to him. Just not in the same category.

Yeah read the post I clearly did that leg work... I was asking about the Hank & Al players.
Looks like Byrd, Toone, Lee, Tatum, Rosenburger, Ellis
Pretty small group. Hope the guys can join it.

With all respect to Otule I meant more how many players went every year they were eligible and playing.
Not enough

I know, I was just having a little fun with that one. At first I thought he may have gone to six.

Not until the '72-'73 season.

I go to this site to research past teams and players.
Bernard " Looney" Toone
Because there are only 3 amigos

When they beat South Carolina in the Great Alaska Shootout final and then beat UCONN in Marquette's inaugural BEAST game, knew we had a special group.

Burke was a late recruit too (as was Jamil Lott), originally signing with East Carolina. Wes, DJ, and Jerel signed together in the fall all started beginning with the opener against Rice.
Plus, Four Amigos just sounds strange.

Funny enough that game was all Ryan Amoroso

You bet it was
Bo Ellis started as a freshman on the '74 team that lost the title game to NC State. Sweet 16 in '75, Elite 8 in '76 (lost to undefeated Indiana), Natiol champs in '77.

Nice! Wonderful way to cap their career.
Good for the Guardians. BTW, karma with the Guardians in Cleveland?

The MLB Guardians play right next door to the arena and the "real" Guardians that the MLB team is named for are just across the street. It's fate.

Not an accomplishment at all. Would have been better if Shaka had let them all walk so he could bring in Storr, Mahaney and Hugley off the transfer portal.
But seriously folks ...
Great accomplishment from three leaders who have given fans four fun, successful seasons to enjoy.
It has been a pleasure to watch them grow.

What about Bill Neary?

According to college basketball reference he was not on the varsity roster as a freshman.
