Mount RushMUre

[silverback]

Apologies in advance if this is already trod-upon ground, but my nephew is obsessed with "Mt. Rushmore" lists these days. He asked me to come up with my MU Rushmore, and I was wondering what the consensus was here...

I gave him:

Thompson
Lee
Lucas
Nethen

I mean Wade. Sorry.

I think we all agreed on Grimm

Joe Nethen stories are one of my favorite things about scoop.

[MU82]

Lloyd Moore and the Ox. No room for any others.

Outstanding. Nothing more needs to be said.

If you need the rock chiseled, let me recommend Copa, Abraham, and Derrick shooting jumpers at it.

[LloydsLegs]

Lloyd Moore and the Ox. No room for any others.

Best part is that in the MURushmore, Lloyd'sLegs are not seen,

[DUNKS45]

Lloyd Moore and the Ox. No room for any others.

Crean sucks

With players like this, then yes he did.

Niv Berkowitz
Ryan Amaroso
Carlton Christian
Mike Kinsella

Mike Kinsella

Remember that one Mike Kinsella game though?  Good times.

Ammo had one great game too.

Perhaps one of them needs to be swapped out for Trevor Mbakwe

Huzzah!

I can't remember if it was Ammo or Kinsella, but I swear we lost a game because one of them committed a foul on a made free throw.  That alone should put you on a monument.

How about just Marquette West players:
Christopherson
Burton
McKay
Noskowiak

[BrewCity83]

McGuire
Wade
Rivers
Lucas

I chose these based on their lasting contributions to basketball beyond college in addition to what they did at MU.

[Galway Eagle]

Since 1996 when I started following MU

Wade
James
Diener
Crowder

James over two of MU's all time scoring leaders? Maybe it's because I only saw James my senior year of HS for one healthy game but I'd put Zar and McNeal over him

I debated that.  McNeal was a volume shooter who could get steals, but he would do about three really dumb things a game.  Zar was a beast his senior year and was a mentor to Jimmy Butler.   I went with James because he did what great point guards do by making Matthews, McNeal and Zar better.  Plus, he would have at least been #3 on the scoring list if not for his injury.

I also considered Butler over Crowder because Butler was here for three years, but Crowder put the team on his back his senior year like few others and earned BEAST POY.
