One of the things that stood out to me from watching that is that Jeff Grayer is still in the top 3 of all time ISU dunkers, and arguably the best, even after all these years. He still stands up. He was amazing. It was his senior year when I was a freshman at ISU, so I had the honor of getting to watch him for one year in Hilton.

The other thing that video reminded me of was just how great a player Royce White was. It's really too bad he had his mental struggles that didn't allow him to show the world what he could do. He had the talent to be an NBA starter for years and years IMO. VERY unique skills for someone with his size.
Royce is one of best pure skill/talent basketball players of all time. It was a blessing to watch that guy play.

I didn't plan to really watch the whole video right now. But 14 minutes later, here I am.

Well done. I also like the chronological order of things :cool:

That 21-0 run was probably the most fun I’ve ever had in Hilton. Once Monte hit that 3 to get it to single digits, it was deafening pretty much the rest of the game.
Not to nit-pick but it was a 22-0 run. It was 48-28 OU when Cousins decided to flap his jaws and it was 50-48 ISU when Hogue's 3 put ISU over the top.

This is the one that comes to mind that definitely needs to be added, but I don't know that there is good video online of it (Allen vs. Kentucky in the NCAA's):



And you definitely need to add this classic. It is one of the most memorable of recent years:



Yeah I was wondering how that one wasn't in there.

I hadn’t watched the video yet until now. Good stuff. A few things:

- Cato was MEAN! The 1st one of his in the compilation. Yikes.

- Morris with just some great looks. The pass on Bowie’s was outstanding.

- It bothers me to no end there isn’t better quality of the Stinson-Blalock-Clark relay

- Naz to Burton was loud

- Hornacek’s pass...

- Grayer’s reverse against Michigan State. Not sure he needed to do it, but glad he did

- Royce’s dunk against UCONN is my favorite one of his. Maybe not his best one, but it immediately set the tone. Pretty sure UCONN knew they were in trouble from the jump

- Wigginton’s is the most explosive one shown

Great. Could have used more Rahshon Clark. I love the one where ISU (I believe Stinson) misses a shot and then Clark comes flying in from off-camera and takes off with 8 players closer to the basket than he is and gets a put-back dunk.

If I had to rate the top dunker of all time it would be Royce. The one year he played left me with a lifetime of memories and nagging "what ifs."

He was so skilled but his speed and agility were freakish. Just amazing to watch.
