What that list is showing me more than anything is how damn impressive the numbers for Crowder and Butler were for their short stints here. Congrats to Davante on 1K points and looking forward to watching him join this club.

Particularly Crowder. He's the only one to have done it in 2 years. I didn't check how many did it in 3 but there are a few.

How many in that list were not starters?

How many in that list were not starters?

VSGood point. Hard to do that coming off the bench.

Also amazing to see guards like Wes & Jerel on that list with the rebounds, but when you see Tony Miller and add that with his assists? That is some serious production. Is he the most productive player in MU history?

1027 points, 561 rebounds, 956 assists

Averaged 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game on a career? Those are huge numbers.

I thought the same thing when I saw Tony Miller on that list. Never would have thought he had 500 plus rebounds. What an incredible stat line.

Is Miller coaching this year? Had been at USC but they have an all new staff.

NCAA freshmen became eligible in football and basketball in 1972, so all those before then--like Rand, Schultz, Wittberger, Moran, Kojis, Flynn, and Thompson---would have had at most 3 years on varsity.
