Jarvis Varnado



Good player with one excellent skill(shotblocking) but nowhere near the best. Moultrie is a much better overall player than Varnado IMO

In my lifetime, it has to be Erick Dampier, followed by Dontae Jones(wasted talent)... Watch Jones' Dunk @ 0:52

Where do y'all think Jenkins will end up on the all-time list after he's gone?

My favorite non-razorback player in the SEC.

Charles Barkley had the most successful career but I'd say while at Auburn Chris Porter was the best basketball player.

Barkley, Porter, Chuck and Wesley Person, John Mengelt, Marquis Daniels, Doc Robinson

Well, he's gone already.

But to answer your question, not really sure. He'll be up there of course, but I don't think it will be the stuff of jersey retirement.

you ags are too young to remember your best hooper...Claude Riley.

Certainly produced one of the best coach's quotes ever...when asked what he thought about Riley's nickname ("The Crockett Rocket" because he was from Crockett, Texas), Metcalf goes "I'm just damn glad he's not from Tucker."

And exactly how many Final Fours were the two able to manage combined? Take your pick with us. There are no crazy answers. The better question is who is traditionally the second best bball school in the SEC. I guess I would say Arkansas.

Apparently can dunk easily. Star basketball and baseball.


Because being able to dunk means you are good at basketball.

Neal Walk, then Vernon Maxwell.
Now it's Noah and Al Horford.

Traditionally it's been us.

Recently it's easily Florida, hard to argue with two Nattys.

Rickey Frazier for Mizzou. Stipo and Sunvold got all the press but Frazier could ball. If he would not have went to SLU first then transferred he would have alot of records at Mizzou
