I grew up in Memphis as a huge Memphis state fan. If yall don't know, the old Coliseum rocked back in the day vs Louisville and such. At any rate, I didn't start watching UT hoops until I transferred there in '88. Who are your favorite players since you've been old enough to follow? For me off the top of my head, Houston, Nix, weezy, Lofton, Jujuan Smiff, Grant, Admiral, Watson. I have to say, Santi is getting there. His defense is worthy of all sec and he wows me every game somehow offensively. ZZ, assuming he keeps this up, will be up there in a couple years. Your list?
Zeiggy Stardust is quickly ascending the list. But top 5 right now is probably Slay, Chism, Lofton, Grant, Admiral
He has 16 steals in his past 5 games alone, including 5 steals in 17 minutes against Miss State. He has 14 games of multiple steals, with 5 games of 4+. He has 3 blocks this season too; not too bad for a 5'9" guy (7'"0 Plavsic has 4 this year, lol).
Favorites - Dyron Nix Allan Houston Charles Hathaway (he was a joy to watch in a sickos kinda way, God bless the 17 step drive the lane walk in the 2000 SEC tournament) Ron Slay John Higgins CJ Watson #5 Jerome Maymon Grant Williams
I played against him when he was at Bolton. 6'4 badass in HS. Bolton for a few years there was nasty. They had another beast named Sylvester Gray who went on to Memphis St then NBA. Dude looked 30 in HS. 6'6 230 grown man
