Hard not to have Dean on the list, but I'm not sure you can replace Butch or Wade.
If you can go with someone as a G/F like Wade, I'd go with;

G - Dean "The Dream" Memminger
G - Alfred "Butch" Lee
G/F - Dwyane Wade
F - Maurice Lucas
C - Jim Chones

Top Bench
Bo Ellis
George Thompson
Earl Tatum

Not much different at all. Not sure who else moves into this group.

Agreed, though ESPN will probably pick a Jae Crowder or a Jerel McNeill to get recent contribution...?

Great minds think alike GE1974 - I posted that very same team on Scout earlier this morning. It is a testament to the program that Dean the Dream and GT are coming off the bench.

Oh, and we all know who the top cheerleader was in the past 50 years is don't we?

[IWB]

Gail Pudvan?

There have been some stellar members over the years, including Fox 6' Jen Lada.

Here's one on the cheerleader side. Years ago I had floor seats at the tourney in Kansas City. The Air Force cheerleaders were seated on the floor in front on me. There was one in particular that was just outstanding. Beautiful. As I stared at her physique all I could think was, "She could kick my ass." So I tried not to stare.

Kim Marotta??

And the Fightin' 218 is still waiting for Mrs. IWB's partially nude happy dance...

I was a big Sam Worthen fan .

He had 2 very good years here but were they better then Jae's? Averaged 14 points 4 rebounds and 6.8 assists for his career. Jae had similar numbers(more rebounds less assists) and was a far better defender.

Tough choices for sure.

Tony Smith might be ahead of both of them for me considering he was a 4 year guy.
