If you had to put four faces on the Mount Rushmore of Little Rock men's basketball, who would it be and why? (And please, not just because someone was your favorite, but because of his importance to the program.)
Derek Fisher - Top 10 in numerous career categories, NBA career, Local product, Fisher Court, etc, etc, etc,.............
James Scott- All time leading scorer, played in 2 NCAA and 2 NITS, Top 10 in numerous other career lists
Myron Jackson- former all time leading scorer, First NCAA team, first NCAA victory, 4 year player, Brief NBA Career, Not on the first D1 UALR teams but in the era,
Heres where it gets tough between several worthy candidates in my mind.......but I will go:
Mike Newell- polarizing figure but from 85-90 absolutely dominated the conference and took us to post season every year. Brought interest,and a somewhat recognizable national profile to our program. To this day I still watch the Notre Dame game to make sure we won. My first unforgettable Trojan moment.
HM- Josh Hagins, Alan Barksdale, Jimmy Lampley,
