A bit of recency bias, admittedly, but I think you need Jimmy Butler and Markus Howard on this list as well.

I hoping we can agree on 12 but you may be right.

The two MU players I remember most as a little tyke were Tony Smith and Damon Key.  I'm not sure they're top 12 but I loved those guys.

I whiffed with my 1st 8.  Obviously he's there and in the T12.  My apologies.

Jimmy was very good, but he was not an all time great college player. He's a better pro than he was college player. Someone like Lazar was a better player at Marquette than Jimmy was.

And you're correct with the criteria.  So what is our consensus  T-12?

I never saw the Al era, so I'm not sure I'm the best person to put together a list like that as I'd be missing some of the best players to ever play at MU.

Nor did I.  I'm just rendering an opinion based on what I've heard and seen on tape fron that era.

Tony Smith was the one good thing about the Dukiet era having played for all three years.  He had a great senior year with KO as coach.

Damon Key, Jim McIlvaine, Robb Logterman, Roney Eford, and Tony Miller all deserve special mention as they helped revive the program and were a lot of fun to watch.  That win over Kentucky in 1994 was the last win for the name "Warriors".

Thought people considered Doc somewhat of a disappointing college player relative to the hype coming in.

That was my thought, he was fine, but not an all-time great.

Leaving Markus off these lists is such a bad take.

How good was Kojis?

I saw Kojis play many times in the Pros. He was excellent.

Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

I'm just asking about a consensus 12.  Some of our more knowledgeable and esteemed Scoopers, that were there and remember the Al years, should be prominent in these discussions.

How did Kojis average 15+ rebs a game at 6'5?
