NOMINATIONS: 1st Quarter of the 21st Century Teams

[C0|dB|00ded]

Jason Perez graduated in 2000. I am assuming he counts, and if he fits your criteria, then I nominate Jason Perez.

6th ALL TIME leading scorer.
19th ALL TIME leading rebounder
15th ALL TIME assists
2nd ALL TIME in steals, only surpassed by the legendary Fred Van Vleet in his final NCAA tourney games (Fred played 24 more total games than Jason).

Jason was one of the best defensive players in my lifetime. Tekele Cotton like.

Can you IMAGINE his stats if he'd had any help or coaching at all?


I also nominate Connor Frankamp. He had the misfortune of being on the same team as Fred or his numbers likely are off the charts.

There's a little era distortion going on.

Jason Perez was a nice player to have on some of our worst teams in history, but in the AAC, he'd be picking up sweaty towels.

One thing folks forget is how athletic the AAC is. It's truly several steps above the MVC. And the MVC in the 90's??

The athleticism in the AAC is likely one of the main reasons Marshall started to lose his shine a bit towards the end. One of his strategies was to recruit a slightly better athlete on average in each league he competed in. That wasn't possible in the AAC.

I'm sure BCCC fans have fond memories of the guys who could light it up on any given night. "At this level".
