I 100% agree Tinsley has an argument for best ever ISU player... while at ISU. Just like Troy Davis is unquestionably Top 3 all time for football... while at ISU. That's why their helmet and basketball signatures were my first 2 ISU collectibles.
Haliburton didn't have quite the same ISU career as either, but his pro career is unquestionably going to be the best of any player in any sport coming out of ISU. Purdy might be the only other player in that same discussion when we look back 10 years from now.
I know you could argue for Hornacek or Fred in the NBA, but they don't match Haliburton in my mind or the possibility of what Purdy may end up being (a lot more variables there than Haliburton).
