What NCAA records did Jackson set? It would have to be strickly freshman records
Yep. NCAA freshman record for most points in a game (55), season (965), and highest freshman scoring average (30.2).
Pretty sure he also set the record for free throw percentage and most consecutive free throws made. I can't find a link for that, though.
Chris Jackson may be the greatest freshman to ever play college basketball.

Being you are an auburn fan talking about former auburn players on a college message board I will assume you mean top three because of college career.
Football - Billy Cannon, heisman trophy winner
Basketball - Pistol, alltime NCAA scoring champ season and career. Shaq, #1 draft pick
Baseball - Ben McDonald, Golden Spikes winner and #1 draft pick.

Yup. I like the discussion about comparing players, but I don't see why it is a point of pride for you to have the best "big three" when there is actually no such thing. These players didn't play the same sport, and they have no relevance to one another.

Didn't Pistol Pete beat that average by like 14?

That's fair but say this rather than saying, "Herr durr this dumb"
All fans are proud of the players from their school. What makes it a point of pride for Auburn in this particular instance is the group moreso than the individual players.
When debated separately each schools has someone they feel could be better i.e. Bo vs Hershel (no response needed leghumpers) but when argued as a group it's hard for other schools to come up with a consensus Big 3

Not as a freshman, he didn't.
1) NCAA didn't allow freshmen to compete at the varsity level at that time. Maravich played on LSU's freshman team in 1968.
2) He scored like 741 points on the freshman team. That's fewer than Jackson, and against worse competition.
There is one (big) asterik to account for, though: Maravich played before the 3-pointer.

You can't answer the question, so maybe it is dumb.

As mentioned, Pistol Pete didn't have a three point line. Some LSU fan a while ago divied up the point total with an imaginary thre point line for Pistol Pete and the #'s were amazing.

You realize that Bo Jackson missed almost his entire junior season due to injury, right?
So all those numbers you posted - Jackson basically did that in three years.
I love LSU and Kevin Faulk, but you are making a losing argument.
No he's not. Faulk was more productive (and durable) at every level and a more complete player. Bo was a great athlete (if not the greatest ever) but was one dimensional.

That would be quite the task. Just thinking about his varsity records and how they would actually be higher with the 3-pt. shot is incredible. Guy was phenomenal.
That said, he was playing against very poor competition in the SEC at that time. Worse, the Pistol was a ball hog and our team suffered for it. We didn't make the Big Dance once with him.

I mean, he wasn't though, when you look at the numbers in terms of yard per carries. Bo was more productive. Faulk got more touches because he never got injured.
And yes, Faulk's greatness lies in his durability, intelligence, and versatility.

All valid points but that dude could shoot. I think his coaches encouraged him to shoot at will...
