The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

This weekend, the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame had a ceremony to induct new members. It made me wonder how many former UAB greats are represented in the ASHOF. The answer is three that I found (it is possible I missed someone https://www.ashof.org/honorees/ashof-inductees/ ): Gene Bartow and Oliver Robinson for basketball; Vonetta Flowers for Olympic bobsled.

A few former Blazers who came to mind that should be no-brainers for induction are:
Wanda Hightower
Bryan Thomas
Roddy White

Why aren't these deserving people in the Hall of Fame?

A few other possibles (some Blazers by association):
Steve Mitchell
Wayne Martin
Gary Sanders
Bill Clark

You can probably think of more.

Harry "The Hat" Walker - Baseball

Casey Dunn perhaps mainly for his Samford days

Football should be Roddy White and Bill Clark down the line

Thanks. Actually thought of Harry Walker but then forgot by the time I typed the post. Walker is a little different in that he is in the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments before his time at UAB.
