Great Big 7 footer who played smart !!!

 

[hillsborovol]

If you insert Terry Crosby into the lineup, he would guard the opponent's top scorer and hold him to 4 points for the game.

Thought this said Terry Crews at quick glance

Howard Widby’s low post beast of a teammate.

Nope different teams. Widby 65-67, Kosmalski early 70s. Boerwinkle played with Widby.

Gene Tormohlen played in the 50s, went on to a long career in the League. Would include him in any discussion if you go back that far.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

King was the absolute best, if not for injuries and missing 2 plus seasons he would be in the conversation for NBA Goat.

Starting 5

Oops see Ellis, but no Reggie?

Was Howard Widby related to Ron Widby?

I think you’ve also confused Len Kosmalski with Len Koslmaski.

 

[Vols410]

Grant Williams isn't being mentioned nearly enough here.

 

[Special Ed]

Howard Widby’s low post beast of a teammate.

Must have meant Len Kosmalski, but he really mangled the name.
Drinking and posting don't mix.

 

[kyvol98]

Howard Widby? Frankensteining Howard Wood and Ron Widby into a rebounding monster?

If he did, he could have punted AND played linebacker as well

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Grant Williams isn't being mentioned nearly enough here.

Grant had a shot at being only the 3rd 3x SEC POY along with Pistol Pete and Bernard.

Ron Slay is being overlooked as well. 2003 SEC POY.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

If he did, he could have punted AND played linebacker as well

And hit 400 yard tee shots.

Bill Hahn was an excellent point guard. Did everything very well except shoot; was one of the best passers ever at UT.
Tony White was not a very good point guard; he was a terrific scorer, but didn't pass or defend all that well.
With all the scoring stars at the other positions, you need a pass-first playmaker at the point! C. J. Watson would go well with many of the others listed.

 

[SlyStone]

Bernard King F
Dale Ellis F
Reggie Johnson C
Alan Houston G
Chris Lofton PG
IMHO the best starting Five
Bench - Tony White, JP Prince, CJ Watson, Ron Slay, Tobias Harris, Ernie Grunfeld

 

[Hexad Vol]

Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld, Tobias Harris, Dale Ellis, & Alan Houston would make a great team if you want to play "positionless basketball".
