[QUOTE="Se Il Illini, post: 1401448, member: 561233"] Jim Dawson was a senior at Illinois in 1967. Doug Collins averaged 29.1 ppg as a senior for Benton. This was in the era of single class basketball in Illinois. There was no 3 point line. At the time Benton played in the South 7 . During this time the South 7 was considered to be a very tough basketball conference. I think to say that Doug Collins was a good but not great player in high school is a slight understatement. I saw him play as a sophomore. As the other poster mentioned, he was small, but he could really play. As a senior, I think he was around 6' 0". I have never heard or read that he did not want to play in the Big 10, because it was too physical. As a matter of fact Doug Collins is hyper-competitive. [/QUOTE]
