        Off the court - Wild Man Bill Lang. Only those who knew Bill off the court will understand this. RIP, Bill.

        On the court - X - Dave - Warren

          I think that the amazing young man that is Tekele Cotton has taken my favorite player spot, narrowly edging out the great love I have for Paul Miller, "the champagne of college basketball," who truly was the man that brought us back to on-court prominence and relevance.

          Oh, and that Drew Moffitt character in ye olde avatar remains my favorite all-sport Shocker of all time. Watching him hit bombs over 21st street was something else.
          I worked with Drew for about a year. He was a good guy.

                    I was to young to remember the shockers of the early 80's and had to endure the late 80's and 90's going to nearly every game with my grandfather. I loved every second of it and X-man was my guy in the NBA. However my favorite Shocker player outside of the current All Americans on the team is Jamar Howard. The best basketball game I have ever watched in person was the Florida State game in the NIT. The community was so excited to finally be pulling out of the decade of failure and for the first time in my life there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I left that game thinking we had finally gotten over the hump even though we lost, the sleeping Giant had been awakened. The kampman, Howard and Burns trio need to be recognized at some point and brought back to campus for a halftime honor as without them and CMT, we would not be here today.

                      Gotta be X for me, those are the first games I remember going with my Dad, and I can still remember Kennedy calling those games. Got to also put in a plug for Claudius Johnson, hard worker on some bad teams and I always respected his effort. Had one class with him at the time, too, and he was always friendly, win or lose.

                            We’ll never see another X-Man. I’m not sure there’s been a similar player in college or pro basketball the past 30 years? God broke the mold when he created X-Man. He may be one of the ‘baddest’ dudes ever.

                              Wrong, Ralph Miller built the house and Cleo Littleton filled it. Got to go with Cleo as he was our very first star of the many who have followed and will follow in his footsteps.

                                I've got to go with X. Then there are so many great players I couldn't begin to make a top 5, I would be forever second guessing myself and not come up with a list.
