  Make room for Brian Sloan at the top of the mountain. Can't wait to read about his uncanny talent for the screen. He should get credit for at least 33% of Alford's points.
  
  Looking forward to reading about silky smooth Cal tomorrow. The best ever!
  
  I apologize for digressing. I was 4 when May was at his height in Bloomington.

  Brain Sloan did most of the screens for Jay Edwards. Steve Eyl, Todd Meir, Darryl Thomas, Joe Hillman etc.. did alot of screening for Steve Alford.

  Maybe you can make a lame argument for Cheaney given his full 4 year body of work.
  However unfathomable is Mike Woodson not only not being a top 5 player but totally missing the list.
  IU Hall of Fame
  IU MVP 79-80
  Big Ten Title 1980
  Big Ten MVP 1980
  Pam AM Gold Metal
  2 time All American
  Ranked number 1 in the country until he hurt his back in 1979
  Third all time IU leading scorer
  Would have been all time Big Ten scorer if not for a bad back
  Good solid person and a pretty long and solid NBA career
  Coached Hawks to a seventh game against the Celtics

  I can understand some disappointed on Woodson being left off the list -- but keep in mind there is a large contingency of greats that have played at IU. Someone had to be left off and based on the process used to come up with this list, we feel really good about it.

  Scott May was a great player for IU. If not for a broken arm, IU would have probably won two championships and been undefeated for two years, in a row.
  It is impossible for everyone to agree on topics like this. I can't get my family to agree on where we go for dinner!
  May is deserving of this ranking, could he have been #1, sure. Several others could have received strong consideration for the #1 ranking.
  Bobby Wilkerson should not be on the list, but he was a pioneer of the rangy guard. If May and Wilkerson had been early predictors, who knows. They couldn't play as freshmen, so they only had three years.
  Whatever, all 10 players are deserving. Where they belong can be argued way into the night.

  Will never forget his disloyalty in sending his son Sean to UNC.
