Any old Rebels remember Johnny Newman?

Basketball player at Ole Miss in I think 1971. Averaged 40.1 points per game. Was the first college basketball player to declair hardship and go in the draft after his sophmore year. I thought that guy was going to be the next Pete Maravich in college. He played both guard and forward at 6'6.

Neumann. Set several scoring records - he & Maravich twice set the combined scoring record for one game, record(s) may still stand.

Saw him play many times. Great shooter and even greater show off. If I'm not mistaken, he is the last player in the NCAA to average 40 or more points per game for the season.
