Today, Sept. 29, is Hersey Hawkins' 51st Birthday.
Happy birthday today to one of the greatest players in college basketball history!
Hersey's 3,008 career point total still ranks as the 8th highest career point total in the history of college basketball.
And only 3 players in NCAA Division I history have had a higher season point total than Hersey had in his senior season. Hersey scored a total of 1,125 points (36.3 ppg average) in 1987-88. Pete Maravich (1,138 in '67-'68, 1,148 in '68-'69, and 1,381 in '69-'70), Frank Selvy in 1953-54 (1,209 points) and Bo Kimble in 1989-90 (1,130 points) are the only three to score more points in a single season than Hersey.
Hersey has been the Director of Player Development for the Portland Trail Blazers since 2009.
