1. Elmore
1. Kinsey
2 Burks
3. Taylor

Top players Dan Dantoni has brought to Marshall
- Thread starter ohio herd
- Start date
Peneva has to be higher than Oak and browning. He was the difference in a NCAA round of 32 team and a I don’t even remember the name pay-to-play tourney team.
How many has Marshall placed in the NBA?
Greer
Mike D.
Lee
Whiteside - although he never wanted to be here and used us a year to get the NBA.
George Stone - ABA
Anyone else?
Not exactly an NBA factory.
I didn't list Kelly because I thought he was already here. If I am wrong on that then definitely he is on my list ! Handlogden is certainly going to be on any future list but I agree he is going to be a great one here. Just a list to spark some discussion
Well i wasn't trying to suggest that but TK may make the NBA we will see. All I was comparing college careers at Marshall. I say having the top two scorers in Herd history is quite impressive.
Tamar Slay and Bob Allen. Here is a list I found online

I think Handlogten has the potential to surpass Penava. I also think Conner & Fricks could get into the Top 10 as well.

ohio - Throw Burks in at #6 - 3 in the top 10 all-time leading scorers in Herd bball history….
Zero. I think we've had one guy in the NBA the last decade or so. Whiteside. And he was only here one season. Correct?
Historically we don't put many in the NBA, nor NFL, nor any pro league.
I count 7 that appeared in an NBA game. May be forgetting one or two.
are we trying to ask stupid questions? how is that relevant at MU? we put a guy in about once every 25 years.
Slay is very underrated in terms of Marshall history.
Peña va is not as good as Handlogten at this point in their careers but Penava outside shooting developed him into a very good player for us.

Soooooo, over the years we get a player into the League about as often as we make a NCAA Tourney appearance, or secure a conference basketball championship. About every decade and a half or thereabouts. A really "sparkling" men's basketball resume overall, isn't it?
It’s not dumb. He was implying that DD may have been able to recruit good CUSA talent, but none of them have been able to go into the NBA. He has brought in some players and a style that lets people that have the ability to make baskets, to score at will. So of course they’re going to put up big numbers when they play street ball.
He has also gone away from the ability to find and keep local talent.
Sooooooo…….pray tell us about all of the local talent is even within the possibility of signing with MU that we are ignoring? Back in the day, we had HHS stars Larry Watson & David Wade.
“finding” local talent isn’t hard. “keeping” local talent is next to impossible if the kid is also being recruited by P5 schools…..
