My wife asked me just the other day who was the best center that ISU ever had I thought you would have to go with Abdul Aziz who would absolutely start for any all star ISU team no questions asked. She thought Fizer but techinically I think he was PF.

This has got to be it. I guess you could go Tinsley at the point then Horny at the 2 but this is what I would want out there.

I'd go with:

Tinsley
Willoughby
Grayer
Fizer
Cato

Fred can coach them. Wouldn't be too much stress on his heart.

Any list not including Don Smith (Zaid Abdul-Aziz) is incomplete.

He is ISU's all time leader in career ppg and rebounds per game with 22.3 points and 13.7 rebounds.

Way up there
Guards- Horny, Freddie, Grayer
Frontcourt- Fizer, Alexander

Bench- Tinsley, Willoughby, Cato, Thigpen, Meyer, Stevens

I love things like this, its cool to see how different generations rank guys. It actually makes me feel kind of old because I'm not sure we've had a guy since the Tinsley/Fizer years that is even worth a mention. I guess its that "good ol days" attitude that gets worse and worse and you get older ! I just included guys I remember actually seeing play which would mean they played after 84 or so. I know there are guys I left out...thats my disclaimer.
