Favorite College Athlete's that never made it pro..

[mben32]

..or wasn't a big time pro..me being the big college sport fan that i am i thought i make this post so we can reflect on all of our favorites that didntmake it due to lack of size, speed, strength, skill etc.

I'll start with my favorite Dukies'
Will Avery

at the penny's

His halfcourt shot at the buzzer vs VT

Ewing was my dude simply off the heat he wore on the court

Un-Biased Favorites:

ed cota was ill, but i swear it used to feel like he was at unc for like 6 years

R.I.P

These dudes were the reason why i started watching cfb

Bam Childress. He's on the Pats practice squad but..
prolly one of fav.

Mateen Cleaves played for the Nets this preseason. He also played with the Cavs, Pistons, Sonics, & Kings.

My vote:

Josh Pace-

 

[craftsy21]

Joe Crispin in the house.. what's up UNC fans?

Nah, but he got ashot with the Lakers and Suns I believe.. has ended up having a very solid career overseas from what I've read. He was one of those

one second and

the next type of players... loved it, he'd put his heartand soul into every play of every game and could drain it from 3/4 court it seemed like.

Miles Simon from Arizona. I always thought he was better individually than Mike Bibby, but Bibby's game was obviously more tailored for the NBA.

@ Junior Burroughs.....Who was his back court mate????


wasnt it Alexander and Deane?

 

[lightweight champion]

I'ma go with Gunna and say Mercury Hayes. I thought dude was the best thing since sliced bread for a cfb WR, I always thought he was better than AmaniToomer. I also thought Geoff MacArthur from Cal was gonna be a good pro WR, he was preseason 1st team AA in 2004...according to Phil Steele.

 

[acidicality]

ayinde ubaka

, he's very undersized for the pros though. don't know what he'sdoing now but i'd assume either NBDL or Europe. He has game

amit tamir
