Does UGA have any baseball players? They have Hershel and Dominique.

I don't know about historically. But Gordon Beckham is pretty good now.

The homer in me says LSU. Just don't think they(LSU) match Auburn's offering for football(Bo).

Starr, Namath, and Stabler? 3 Super Bowl Champ QBs from one school.

Don't know about the rest. Joe Sewell in baseball, for sure. Magadan played for the Mets, though. Ugg.

Let's not forget Latrell, either.

Do any of the schools have 3 in the HOF in their sport?

Ala has Sewell in baseball and 7 in football. Zero in hoops.

I'm sure you'll be offended, but Kevin Faulk had a better college and pro career than Bo Jackson.

So...
Shaq >>>> Barkley
Faulk > Jackson
Belle = Thomas

LSU wins.

UGA's would really lack in baseball

Football: Walker (better than any other school would have)

Basketball: Wilkins (probably in the top 3 or 4 or so of SEC schools)

Baseball: Geesh, who knows. Gordon Beckham? That pitcher for the reds? Jeff Keppinger? We've had some great college baseball players here but nobody has really done much in the pros.

Arkansas might get close...
Basketball - Sidney Moncrief
Football - Pat Summerall, Lance Alworth, Dan Hampton, Steve Atwater
Baseball - Cliff Lee

I completely forgot about Joey Belle. I give Frank a slight advantage there.

Meh...he could have been, but Joey had a much shorter career.

Not really. LSU has a football and 2 basketball players with more impactful careers than Bo Jackson and Charles Barkley. Frank Thomas would compare favorably to just about any other schools baseball offering besides UCLA, USC, Texas, Arizona St and maybe Mississippi St.

Auburn also has Cam so if nothing else we might be even with a slight edge to Auburn

Neither is anyone else. There is no NBA Hall of Fame. He is in the basketball HOF though.

And he was named one the NBA's top 50 players.
