One of the interesting observations is how absurdly low some players were ranked in their respective class by that service.

# 210 – Stefan Jankovic
Conference POY as a junior in Big West, left school after junior season for NBA draft

#296 – Laurence Bowers
26th in program history in points scored, 2nd all time in blocked shots. 2nd Team All SEC selection, 1st team All Big 12 Defense selection, mid-season Wooden Award watch list selection for NPOY.

#344 – Kevin Puryear
6th highest scoring freshman in program history, named SEC All Freshman team. Through 2 seasons already has 731 points scored and 335 rebounds.

#526 – Jason Conley
Led the entire nation in scoring as a freshman with a 29.3 ppg avg, only freshman ever. Scored 1,569 career points and grabbed 577 rebounds.

# 558 – Matt Lawrence
1,000 point scorer, 3rd all time in program history in made three pointers. Big 12’s 6th Man of the Year.



**Note, I'm pretty sure Nate Minnoy and Chris Freeman were not Tigers. Not sure why they are listed. They also seem inconsistent in terms of if they give JUCOs a rating and whether incoming transfers are included.
