Mount Rushmore of ISU Basketball
- Thread starter mcdrier
- Start date
fizer, Thompson, Fred and Niang
Grayer is tough to leave off. Fizer was the most dominant player Isu has ever had and should have won a title. Fred was home town hero and makes it because of his coaching plus playing. Thompson, AA that has been associated with the school for 60 years and Georges,leading the revival of Isu basketball and his off court relationships with Isu. Freak accident broken foot from a title.
Isu has had a lot of close calls the past 15 years.

Absolutely no way you can leave Grayer off. Have you seen the career scoring list? He's untouchable on there. That should count for something.
Grayer, Orr, Thompson, Niang
And yes, I am leaving off some great players.
First team - Thompson, Orr, Grayer, Hoiberg
Next four would be Fizer, Tinsley, Niang and Stevens
You could make a good argument to swap any of the eight back and forth, but Hornacek doesn't crack the top 8 in my opinion.

Your obsession with running down Prohm every chance you get is getting pretty weird.
As to the OP's question; I would go with Grayer, Hoiberg, Georges, and Thompson, although I think you could switch out Fizer for Thompson and not be wrong.
Thompson was a 5'10" guard. His teams beat Chamberlin's KU team, but Thompson did not 'guard' Wilt.

Grayer and Thompson, easy. The next two get tough.
Hoiberg and Niang can easily make the next two, and I leave off Fizer due to him only being here 3 years. Johnny is a good add, but who do you take off with Hoiberg and Niang.
IMO , Niang > Hoiberg as a player. But Hoiberg means/meant more to the program.
Picking just four is a great talking point.
Ouch.

Gary Thompson.....no question. Now you get the next grouping. Grayer, Fred, Georges. Fizer, Tinsley, That is where it gets tough.
Have to take Grayer as one choice. Fred....hometown boy who was a great player and a great coach. Now it comes down to who do you prefer. If you are talking overall personality, player, and representative of ISU then you would give the nod to Georges. The guy is awesome. Sentimental pick is Georges.

Georges Niang is not on an ISU Mt. Rushmore. Some of you could use a little perspective. I understand that many are giving him love in the moment that is how our culture works. However, he is not better then Grayer, Fizer, Abdul-Aziz at virtually the same position.
Orr, Thompson, Grayer and Hoiberg (Fred's playing and coaching career put him there)
