I’ve heard a lot of proper acknowledgement of players that laid the foundation of where we are today; Chicken Knowles, Devonta Pollard, Galen Robinson, Rob Gray, Damyean Dotson, Armoni Brooks, Corey Davis Jr. and on.
And I’ve seen the excitement of past greats like Olajuwon and Hayes regarding this run.
Other than Bo Outlaw, I haven’t seen many players mentioned from the “drought years”.
The star on campus during my time on campus was Andre Owens. Owens was from Indy. He came out of HS as a top recruit and went to Bloomington. The next year’s offseason (2002), he transferred to Houston to join head coach Ray McCallum’s team in what would be McCallum’s last two of four total seasons (McCallum is currently an assistant at Tulane).
Owens was talented. He was a joy to watch and spent a few years in the NBA, Europe and most recently the BIG3 league.
Anyone else have some lost UH star players to highlight?
Tim Moore is the best post Foster. Averaged 20 points and almost 11 rebounds his 2nd year here. Just unbelievable talent. If he played for this Sampson team and IF he bought in (big if) he is 100% a first team all-American, no doubt in my mind.
A lot of my favorite players were when I was a student trainer at U of H and earlier Otis Birdsong, Louis Dunbar, George Walker, Steve Newsome, George Reynolds,Carlos Bell,Ken Spain,Dwight Davis!
Starting with Foster there are a lot of players I really liked then it went quiet for a bit of a lengthy stretch
