[QUOTE="Illini in Italy, post: 2030139, member: 748568"] When I think of great college level athletic big men, the names that come to mind are (in no particular order): - Lew Alcindor - Kareem Abdul Jabbar, UCLA (7'2", 225#) - Bill Walton, UCLA (6'11", 210#) - Artis Gilmore, Jacksonville (7'2", 240#) - Ralph Sampson, Virginia (7'4", 228#) - Robert Parrish, Centenary (7'1", 244#) - Patrick Ewing, Georgetown (7'0", #255) - David Robinson, Navy (7'1", 250#) - Tim Duncan, Wake Forest (6'11", 250#) - Danny Manning, Kansas (6'10", 275#) - Akeem Olajuwon, Houston (7'0", 255#) - Shaquille O'Neill, LSU (7'1", 325#) - Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin (7'0", 240#) - Meyers Leonard, Illinois (7'1", 260#) - Joel Embiid, Kansas (7'0", 280#) - Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga) (7'1", 207#) I saw every one of these players play in college, everyone on this list would have run Edey off the court IMO.
