UWM Athletics Hall of Fame
I had a discussion Tuesday night after the game at Harry's with a few others about the Hall of Fame and mentioned that Shannon Smith was the last basketball player to be inducted back in 2002. I'm glad that the other sports have gotten the spotlight through their members being elected but you can't go 10+ years without inducting a member (or more) from the sport that is the face of UWM Athletics. As for Shannon, he deserves to be a HOFer but I don't know if he should have gone in that quickly. Larry Reed didn't even get inducted until 2000!
Anyways, who would everyone like to see in the UWM Athletics Hall of Fame from men's basketball? Maybe it is for the best that the biggest names don't go in until they build the new place and actually have a physical Hall of Fame.
Here are some names (most should be obvious suggestions) who I feel are deserving:
Gerald Hardnett
Glen Allen
Bob Gottlieb
Erik Schten
Andy Ronan
Joe Schultz
Von McDade
Marc Mitchell
Craig Greene
Pat McCabe
Cyrus Caldwell
Chad Angeli
Clay Tucker
Dylan Page
Ed McCants
Joah Tucker
Adrian Tigert
Boo Davis
Chris Hill
Eventually, down the line I could see Steve Antrium, Bruce Pearl and recently graduated guys like Ricky Franklin, Anthony Hill, James Eayrs getting in.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
