      I would pick Rob Dye over Ray Ramsey for Springfield. Just my two cents! Rob Scored over 500 more points for BU than Rocket Ray. Although Ray was quite accomplished in athletics as a basketballer, Rob gets my nod.

                  I can't agree with Steve Doty being the best from Manlius.
                  Greg Berry was a teammate of Steve Doty at Manlius HS. Greg scored 187 career points and had 127 career rebounds for Bradley in 50 games from 1965-68, compared with Doty's career totals of just 10 points and 7 rebounds in 11 games (1966-69).

                    are you forgetting Brian Randle went to Notre Dame or do you really think Max Bielfeldt is better?

                      You're right.

                        Scott McCabe.

                        Washington: Doug Lee was the best college player to come out of the school, in my opinion.

                        I loved to watch Derek Holcomb, but I'd probably pick Robinson, Mark Smith, and Altenberger over him.

                        And I would agree with FWO that Randle was better than Bielfeldt will be.

                          Some of us old timers would put Tom Adams near or at the top of the list for Washington.
                          Thanks for interesting thread Capecod. Lot of names I haven't heard in awhile.
                          What part of illegal don't you understand?
