Greatest App State athlete of all time ?
Got chased off the golf course by a steady rain after nine which led to some quite time to ponder this question. I’m looking for opinions and rationale. I’ll go first , Thompson Usyian. He was the most dominating player in any sport I’ve seen in college athletics, in person. That includes David Thompson and Michael Jordan. I’m not a soccer guy, but I was during those years. He was magic.

I agree. I drove 134 miles one way several times to see him play. I believe he ended up on the faculty at South Carolina. Emanuel Udogu was pretty good, too.Stonewall wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 9:32 pmGot chased off the golf course by a steady rain after nine which led to some quite time to ponder this question.

Re: Greatest App State athlete of all time ?
I agree that it would have to be done by sport to have any real meaning. The wide variety of skill-sets required from sport-to-sport would always make valid comparisons impossible. For example...try comparing Thompson's world-class speed, quickness and uncanny athletic gifts in a 6-2, 175 pound frame (maybe) versus the brute strength of a 6-5, 300 pound all-American lineman versus AE's 6-2, 180 all=American QB frame that took every bone-jarring hit the opposition could dish out and bounce to his feet clear-eyed and ready to throw another TD pass. There's no objective way to measure it. Just one person's biased opinion versus all of the other biased opinions.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!
