" I also think that one of the '57 NIT era players that was a strong player wore #33 too. I just can't remember who."

According to Trip's Tigers website [http://tripstigers.com/] in 1956-57, Eddie Wells from Indianapolis, IN wore #33 that year. Anyone have any different info?

It was a different time, but I'd take Antonio over JJ any day.

Thanks, I appreciate you looking that up and reminding me re:TripsTigers. I was a little off. That's not who I was thinking of, it was Skip Wolfe who played immediately after the NIT team. TripsTigers is invaluable for easy to research info. I should have it bookmarked instead of having to be reminded of it.

No problem! I enjoyed figuring it out. It's always fun to hunt down some arcane tidbit, especially when it involves the Tigers! I usually end up learning a dozen or so new things while in pursuit of the original item. It keeps me off the streets... and, there's not much else to do sports-wise (based on my interests) during this time of the year.

Now I'm gonna go see what I can learn about Skip Wolfe!

No. 2 may be right behind number 10.

I've had a strong opinion that after this run of players, Alvin Wright,  Andre Turner, Bill Laurie, Otis Jackson, that #10 should be reserved for the starting point guard and make that number really special. Tony Matlock would have also been a natural fit for #10 also, but he chose 20.

Unfortunately, too much time has now passed for the link between the PG position and the number 10 to be significant.

....just one old guy's opinion.

I grew up thinking number 10 automatically was a PG #

Man, this thread is bringing back a lot of good memories for an old guy who actually saw Forrest Arnold play in person.

What a great, fun thread

Right.

There was that string of really strong #10s that played that position. It just seemed like a "reserved" number for the position. To add to the mystic, all except Laurie were local kids.

I was pretty young with Forrest was playing, but the Puxico connection was so strong, all of those guys names were like the local equivalent of Bob Cousy/Bill Russell. I think that Forrest was the 2nd Puxico player behind Elmore Fortner.

Russell Young. It's a shame he had so many injuries.

Yeah, I was 5 to 9 when Arnold was here, but I definitely remember seeing him play. I recall Fortner's name, but not seeing him play.

Would lead the NCAA in rebounding for sure.

would Darius ever pass the ball? That would be a nice team tho.

Yep. 35 has been high quality.

#12 Mike Butler, one of the all time greats wore that number, had to look 3 three times. Can't believe he was overlooked.
#15 Mackie Don Smith and Don Holcombe
#22 James Douglas
#23 James "Tweety" Jackson
#24 Herb Hilliard the first African American Tiger, I think that was his number.

If some has an media guide, double check the last two and James Douglas he might have been #32

Just give 20 to DeAngelo already guys...

The list of numbers I provided only went back to the 72 season. All the players you mentioned were before that. Douglass wore 43 one season and 44 for 2 seasons. James Jackson was 23. Hilliard was 24.
