[Its DJOver]

In no particular order:

George
Wade
Markus
Butch
Chones
Dean
Lucas
T Smith
Jae
Bo

Let's not forget about the TBT contributions to the Golden Eagles.

Then Diener moves into my top 10 to take the top spot.

Still too much recency bias ...

Remove Butler, Crowder, Novak, Lazar, McNeal, Diener, Dom James, Gardner, Matthews (seriously Bad_Reporter ... Mathews???) and Sam/Miller (franklin, you need to lie down).

In their place, every list should have Thompson and Rand.

So updating Goo's list.

Here is what should be the consensus 8 of the top 10

Jim Chones
Bo Ellis
Butch Lee
Maurice Lucas
Dean Meminger
Dwyane Wade
George Thompson
Terry Rand

Markus should have one of these spots.
So the argument is now who gets the 10th.


Who disagrees?

Agree with your general sense of recency bias - and TAMU said it well when placing all of Lazar, Wes, Jerel, Jimmy, Novak, James, etc., in the same bucket.

However, Jae Crowder in my view deserves a spot in Top 10.  He embodied the very sense of the word Warrior, affected the game in virtually every category, including sheer toughness, leadership, and all other intangibles.

The night of the '77 National Championship, my mom, God rest her soul, drove me, my sister and a couple of friends to Mitchell field from our home in tosa to see if we could catch a glimpse of the players.  I was a junior in HS.  We were lucky enough to see them all at baggage claim.  I pulled a couple of scraps of paper out of my pocket.  They were a written a excuse from my mom for an eye appointment and the release form from the principal's office.  I couldn't get 3 of the players to sign.  One, sadly, was Butch Lee (he was mobbed and I couldn't get close enough) the others were Gary Rosenberger and Mark Lavin.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The only reason you leave off Jae Crowder is because he only played two seasons. He is a no brainer top 10 player for me.

That's really cool.

TAMU
That is a difference in our top ten thinking. There are two guys on most peoples list that played two or less. While I have Jae on my long list of 7-15, his time here does not factor into my decision. Like I said in another post, I'll take another Jae like two years over another similar Howard run.

Don Kojis is 17th on all-time MU scoring list, Bob Wolf, and Mike Moran
who weren't mentioned are 18th and 21st, Ron Glaser 24th and Terry Rand 25th, Tom Flynn 28th. Just thought I would throw some MU history
in. If I'm wrong please correct me.
