Who you got?

I’ve followed the program for 15 years, and one name that comes to mind is Darius James.

Marsharee Neely.

Darrin McDonald played ‘86 - ‘90 (I know I’m old) was slashing guard who could also shoot from the outside. He won a few games with buzzer beaters too.

BS

Grant Robinson, Steve Trax

Mike Byers comes to mind. Great ball handler. Solid playmaker. Played on really talented teams that lacked point guard play. He had to play point out of necessity but was a damn good player. Quick hands, Ton of steals. Loved watching him.

I’ll go with Darius James. He did what a good point guard is supposed to do...he made the players around him better. He was also a good enough shooter that defenses had to guard him.

I'm old, David Harvey. Hodge went down with a knee and Harvey took his place. Was sort of like Carver, but a little bigger. Fit perfect on that team.

Brian Dunlap. We went to NCAA 3 out of his 4 years. I believe he started for 4 years but only going by memory there, so I could be mistaken. A winner , plain and simple.

Dunlap was a very, very guard. Made everyone better. Could not shoot a lick.

Ross the Boss. Best athlete to ever wear an ODU uni. Was a total leader in the locker room.

2 come to mind. 1 changed the game every time he came in and you could feel it....Brandon Johnson. The other was a spark and really made others better because of this threat shooting and off the dribble.....Isaiah Hunter.

Good one. I would add Mike Jones and Isaiah Hunter.

Forgot about Brandon Johnson. He may top the list for me.

I am with Brandon Johnson. He picked more pockets than anyone. No one could bring the ball up the court with him in their face.

Keyon Clark as a 6”8 stretch 4 who could shoot 3’s and was a key cog on our NCAA tourney game winning team.

I’d say valdas vasylius but you can’t be underrated when you were an all caa first teamer.

What no love for Big Sam?

I remember him giving UNC's Ty Lawson fits when we played the Heels..

Mike Jones, Kevin Larkin
