best player in program history. Certainly right at the top and no way you can leave him out of a top 5.

He had a pretty good freshman season and then was basically a stud from then onward at MU. He actually only started 16 of the 30 games his freshman year which I didn't remember. I'm just trying to recall if he evolved into a great player, or he was always a great player with high expectations at MU and big hype as an incoming player. Because I don't recall the latter being the case.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
