Lincoln has replaced Fagbemi as the greatest athlete. Wow.

Filtering out recency bias... TSJ will always be the greatest athlete. It's not even close.
I don't think I've ever seen a college basketball player that big, run that fast, with that level of body control.

It's close between these two and TSJ. TSJ had the handles and could go coast to coast with insane body control. Kenny's above the rim, high-energy, acrobatic slam dunks and explosive athleticism. Nick attacked the basket aggressively and rebounded like crazy for his size. Could also throw in Kendall and Ayo too.

I’ve said this before, but I’d love to sit at a sports bar with Fanta, a few other knowledgeable and rational college basketball fans, and with 4-5 games on at the same time over pizza and beers. That would be a fun evening talking college hoops with Fanta.
Top 5, good place to be
Is there any chance at all that Mirk comes back for another year or is it a foregone conclusion he is NBA bound?
Can't wait to see it on the court with my own eyes. And yeah, without bringing in the Flying Illini he would be my nominee too.
That said, I don't think best athlete, worst shooter is the title I'd be aiming for.
