Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones
3 sport athlete in HS and at UK
Basketball - 3x All American, 4x All SEC, Olympic gold medalist
Football - 2x All SEC
And apparently a really good baseball player
Petty cool that he played for both Rupp and Bear Bryant
Got to know him a little bit and he was incredibly humble

Surprised to see so many people taking Henry over DT. No question in my mind it’s Derrick Thomas. Probably John Hannah next.

Either Mondo Duplantis or Pete Maravich. Maybe Shaq like others are saying.

Former NFL QB John Kitna and former MLB OF Bill North. Both played their college ball at Central Washington, an NAIA school in Ellensburg, WA.

Even though I hate basketball, kevin durant is up there and deserves mention.
He would’ve probably gone further in the playoffs if not for Rick Barnes, who notoriously chokes in the tournament

Bart Connor
Got drunk one night in Hattiesburg, MS with Bart back in the 80's. He must have kissed 100 coeds at the bar. We were an odd couple since I am a foot taller. Not sure how he made it back to the hotel, but he was at breakfast the next morning and ready for the gym camp he was running. Respect. Can't be a big boy at night if you can't be a big boy in the morning.

DT was amazing! How about a tie?

Derrick Henry.
The late Arkansas head coach, Frank Broyles, when he was a television commentator would have seen that run by Henry and drawled, There’s no substitute for speed.

Bart was at OU when I was there...
He was a nice guy for being a big star like he was.
I was pretty good friends with his little brother...
His dad was an architecture prof at OU... they always say it was package deal... Bart and his dad.
We were even cheating at gymnastics back then. LOL.
