Players from the past

Da Coach said:
That is really sad. I can't believe they are removing all those plaques and disposing of them for next-to-nothing. They don't even give a reason. And the part about replacing it with a future display, I am not holding my breath.
Can't they find room at the Peoria Riverfront Museum or somewhere else? There is a lot of great history there.

To hell with their renovations. They need to find a place for these items. This is history you can ever get back again. They need to care more about Peoria than that

When I think of players of the past, I think of players from the '60s and '70s. To name a few from the '60s, from when I first started following BU men's hoops, there is Levern Tart, Eddie Jackson, Ernie Thompson, Joe Allen, and Al Smith. These players are ancient history for some, probably before some were born, but not for me.

My first full season of following the Braves was the '64-'65 season, Ozzie's last as head coach. I do remember the '64 NIT very well and attended my first game earlier that season.

And…L.C. Bowen, Willie Betts, Alex McNutt, and Steve Kuberski.

Of course. I simply posted those that came to mind. Those who think I'm a youngster can remember Chet Walker, Joe Billy McDade, Bobby Joe Mason, and many others.

Then there's Roger Phegley and Hersey Hawkins that can be added to this list.
 
There's a small museum on the left as you enter the Renaissance Coliseum on Bradley's campus-
Bradley has to buy up as much of the Bradley basketball related HOF plaques as possible
and display them there.....
I checked the list - plaques of Joe Stowell, AJ Robertson, Forddy, Buescher, The Famous Five, the 1950, 1954, 1957, 1960, 1964, 1982,
and 1986 Bradley Basketball Teams, and of course Joe Allen, Hersey, Jim Les, JJ, Barney Cable, Bob Carney, Bobby Joe Mason, Bobby
Humbles, Squeaky, AP, Phegley, Chris Reynolds, Al Smith, Curtis Stuckey, Tart, Unruh, Chet the Jet & more....
I have no idea how many are available- I called and bought two of the Richwoods' State Champs that I have a personal connection to.
