Favorite BU Player of All-time?

Big Mike Williams - Boy I wish we had one of him again. He was also a nice guy outside the court and really laid back

Hersey Hawkins - Very approachable, kept to himself and probably the best player we have ever had at BU. I'm sure there will be a few oldies who will disagree.
 
I'll say Hersey Hawkins, before someone else does. But it is really difficult to pick just 1, since there have been so many who have played for Bradley and given everything they had.
 
Reggie Hall ..... fought through the scorn and boo's of some fans that for SOME reason thought that would make him play better.

Gave all he had and graduated with Degree in hand. If I was Reggie I would have been compelled to give those fans the one finger salute and walk off into the sunset...he didn't and I applaud him for that.
 
Favorite from jr. high and into high school.....

Mike Williams actually had one of his old sweatshirts that the team wore....man that thing was huge! Wore it until it was all worn out!

Hersey Hawkins- loved to watch him play and tried to emulate him.

Jim Les- just a hard nose player.

Of course when your older brother is friends with these guys and you get to hang with them in their SAC apartments...makes a big impression on a young kid!

while attending BU....
Marcus Pollard
Dwayne Funches
Deon Jackson
David "Chainsaw" Winslow man could he set a screen!
I worked at the FH and got to see and talk to these guys almost everyday and learned a lot watching practices. Still do many of the one on one drills in my practices!

There have been so many. I'll pick one that not many people would.

Harold McMath

When I first went to BU games I really like the way he hustled and worked harder than anyone. Not much on offense, but if you needed a rebound or some defense he was the one you'd want.

Honorable mention: Eric Roberson, Mitchell Anderson, David Thirdkill, Aaron Zobrist, Willie Scott.
 
I'll go with Jerome Robinson.

Even though he only had one great year, the way he carried that team despite his shoulder injuries was something special.
 
I'm surprised nobody has said Heemskerk... we have a couple (or more) posters with names (and avatars) associated with him. :roll: :lol:
 
Squeaky when I was a kid and Hawk when I grew up. Never met a nicer guy on or off the court than the Hawk.
 
There were SO many it's hard to pick just one. Those that really stand out -- Seymore Reed, Tom Les, Jimmy Carruthers, Bobby Humbles, Hasan Houston, JJ Anderson, Hawk (of course), and many others.....

Chico, Is The Hawk nice for a basketball player (most of which are stuck up you know whats) or nice for a regular person who hasn't been spoiled and given everything their whole lives because they can put a ball in a hoop?

GTD - Hawk stuck up? I briefly talked with the Hawk while on campus (yes - I was there for some of the same time)... and he was very approachable and such a nice guy to talk to. He seemed to shift the "spotlight" from him and talked about other stuff.
 
Hawk is a great person. Very approachable to talk to. I know that the several times he has been back that he has gone out of his way to talk to my brother. Not something he would have to do and as said not something most NBA guys would probably do. JL is also in that same mold.
 
I stated following Bradley closely when I was in 6th grade, during the 93-94 season. As a result, Anthony Parker became and still is my favorite player. I strongly believe that AP is the reason I love Bradley as much as I do. Unforutnately I wasn't old enough to remember many of the names mentioned in the first part of this thread.

My honorable mention is Andrew Warren. He reminds me so much of AP...from the soft touch on his J to his comperable look and size and his ability to both shoot and take the ball to the rim. After the Drake game 2 years ago when he hit back-to-back 3-pointers late in a tight game, he became my favorite current player. To see a freshman who played just a few minutes per game have the guts to take those shots is priceless. I can't wait to see what he has to offer the team over the next 2 years.
 
Well I only started following BU when I started going to school there, so I've only got about 6 years of watching to fall back on, but I'll have to go with Zach Andrews. I know he was nothing special on the court and could drive you crazy with a near-guaranteed one or two charging fouls per game, but I just loved his energy and enthusiasm when he was out there. He was also by far one of the friendliest and most outgoing people I've ever met. I also liked the fact that I ran into him on campus at least a couple times each week and he always made it a point to say hi when he saw me.

I'm also a big AW fan. He's a really nice guy and I think he has the chance to be a really special player over the next 2 years.
 
Mitchell Anderson.

Willie Scott.

Jim Les.

Hersey Hawkins.

Brendon McCarthy, was a walk on during the first year of Versace I was 8 and for whatever reason just thought the world of him. No idea why, but there you go.

I also really admired Charles White, the guy endured a bunch of crud at BU but was hardnosed and really helped bridge this program from the disaster of Stan to the begining of MO.

Eric Roberson.

Dwane Funches.

Roger Phegley and Bobby Humbles.
