Favorite BU Player of All-time?

[bigdaddystuck]

Hawk is a great person. Very approachable to talk to. I know that the several times he has been back that he has gone out of his way to talk to my brother. Not something he would have to do and as said not something most NBA guys would probably do. JL is also in that same mold.

I stated following Bradley closely when I was in 6th grade, during the 93-94 season. As a result, Anthony Parker became and still is my favorite player. I strongly believe that AP is the reason I love Bradley as much as I do. Unforutnately I wasn't old enough to remember many of the names mentioned in the first part of this thread.

My honorable mention is Andrew Warren. He reminds me so much of AP...from the soft touch on his J to his comperable look and size and his ability to both shoot and take the ball to the rim. After the Drake game 2 years ago when he hit back-to-back 3-pointers late in a tight game, he became my favorite current player. To see a freshman who played just a few minutes per game have the guts to take those shots is priceless. I can't wait to see what he has to offer the team over the next 2 years.

Al Smith -- Bobby Joe Mason & Chet Walker can't decide which one

Well I only started following BU when I started going to school there, so I've only got about 6 years of watching to fall back on, but I'll have to go with Zach Andrews. I know he was nothing special on the court and could drive you crazy with a near-guaranteed one or two charging fouls per game, but I just loved his energy and enthusiasm when he was out there. He was also by far one of the friendliest and most outgoing people I've ever met. I also liked the fact that I ran into him on campus at least a couple times each week and he always made it a point to say hi when he saw me.

I'm also a big AW fan. He's a really nice guy and I think he has the chance to be a really special player over the next 2 years.

Mitchell Anderson.

Willie Scott.

Jim Les.

Hersey Hawkins.

Brendon McCarthy, was a walk on during the first year of Versace I was 8 and for whatever reason just thought the world of him. No idea why, but there you go.

I also really admired Charles White, the guy endured a bunch of crud at BU but was hardnosed and really helped bridge this program from the disaster of Stan to the begining of MO.

Eric Roberson.

Dwane Funches.

Roger Phegley and Bobby Humbles.

What memories !!!

Seymour Reed - My first Bradley BB game - why I attended Bradley

Harold McMath - A great rebounder

Roger Phegley - Perfect shot to get fouled every time

David Thirdkill - The fastest dunk in town

Robert Jenkins - Tough as nails - never forget the game at Tulsa

Hersey Hawkins and Jim Les - What a team !!!!! Knew how to win

[thefish7]

Favorite player of my lifetime - Hawkins (can still remember some of it, though I was very young)

Favorite player of my years on campus - Probably Gilbert or Dye.

Favorite player since college (and since I became a bigtime Braves fan) - Ruffin

Favorite player on the team now - Warren or Theron, man that's a tough one.

Jimmy Caruthers
Roger Phegley
Chet Walker

I have to add Theron Wilson-- I think this guy is great. I love his athletic ability and his will. Too bad we didn't have him longer. I think he would have been a real super star here and a possible NBA talent

Mike Cash.

J.J. Tauai ... even though I groaned every time he came into a game his sophomore year (my freshman year). The player and leader he turned into his last two seasons is unforgettable.

[lefty]

Hawkins...but mainly for how hard he worked to get open. Going along the baseline all the time and getting beat up as he went through and still came off the screen with great energy.

Jimmy Caruthers...it was when I was in high school but he was fun to watch.

JJ Tauai...fot sticking it out when many were not high on him.

Pollard....alot of grunt work without alot of glory

Funches...see above

and hard not to like Willie Scott and Anthony Manual.....

[phyneous_j_whoopie]

For me...I couldn't wait for Rick Malnati to come in and be a spark plug. Man he was fun to watch! I also loved to watch Barney Mines...that was a fun era!

[BUconnorD]

All Time: Hawkins....he's pretty sweet

past 4 years: Mr. Crouch

There are many favorites over the years- and by the way- a great topic!

Harold McMath , Hop Houston and Robert Jenkins were favorites of my mom and dad- who had seats under the basket in the Fieldhouse...

From my time there at BU- Barney Mines, JL, Hawk, Trevor Trimpe, Big Mike, Anthony Manual and Voise Winters

But they all had something that made them stand out... Mike Cash was one of nicest kids I ever met, as was Keith "Rock" Berry... even Danny Secli back in the day- and Pierre Cooper- shame he never made it on the court for BU!

BUt one of my all-time faves- because he was undersized in stature- but was a warrior- was Rosey Davison- a 6'4 center who was a man's man- probably he and Big MIke were best rebounders I ever saw!
