My first year was Doc's last year:

1.  Jae
2.  DWade
3.  Doc
4.  Diener
5.  Lloyd Moore

Jerel - Big fan of how intense he played, that he wasn't as highly regarded as the other two and the fact that we are both from the South Suburbs and knew some of the same people. I actually thought he was the best of the three when considering the entire 4 years (same time I was there). James had a good freshman year, slumping sophomore year and returned big his Senior year. Wes was big his senior year.

After that, DJO. His speed was amazing and drove at the hoop like a crazy man.

Gardner after that. He's got an unbelievable ability to find baskets.

I love the fact that in the last 7-8 years, all of the players seem to be cut from the same clothe as underrated but extremely hard working guys who can perform on the big stage. It seems like it was like this a few decades back so I guess that's a Marquette thing.

Travis Diener all the way! I grew up watching him at Fondy High and went to all of the Fondy basketball camps. There isn't even a close #2 for me.

Top 5 (starting with my time at MU):

1. Tony Miller
2. Aaron Hutchins
3. DWade
4. Diener
5. Three-headed monster of Lazar / Butler / Jae

1- 'Rel.  The most intense person on the court.  Whenever I watch the pray video I still get chills when he screams and 1 and James is tugging on his jersey.  He's the only person I can can say was as fun to watch play the passing lanes as it was to watch him on O.

2- Diener.  Just the heart of a lion.  He never gave up and was a cocky lil S.O.B. too.

3- Cordell Henry-  His floater in the lane was unstoppable.  I still remember his 31 against a Bo Ellis coached Chicago state team, and the low blow he took from Bob Thuggins' Cincy team in the CUSA tourney. 

close behind were Super Steve, Wade, Jae, and DJO.  Dominic James gets bumped from my list after getting in a fight with my roommate.

1. McNeal
2. Lazar Hayward
3. Jae Crowder
4. Jimmy Butler
5. Ox

Went to MU 2004-2008.  Loved the big 3, however McNeal was my all-time favorite.  Played with reckless abandon at times but was an exciting player.

While the recent players are the best MU has seen in the past 25 years..I still have a fond memory of what Faisal Abraham did on some not so good teams.

Lucas. I know that he only had 2 years but being dubbed "The Enforcer" says it all for me.

[JediWarrior]

I feel we have missed the love for some crucial players here.

• Rob Jackson
• Gary Brel
• Joe Fulce
• FROZENA

I may have missed these guys in the eight pages of posts.

Honestly, I think Davante Gardner is quickly becoming one of my favorite players of all time.  I love how much other fans hate that "dirty Sasquatch."

Yes. If someone going into the lane, Faisal was gonna clobber him!

Unfortunately, you did not want him shooting at all.
