Prior to the SECT run someone on the radio was talking about "if you could add one VFL from the past to this team to get them to the Final Four who would you add"
I've thought about it more and more...here's a few names outside the obvious ones (Grant, Chism, Stokes) I thought worth mentioning.
Tobias Harris has to be one of the first names thought of 6'8" and was the #5 rated player in his class. 15.3 ppg and 7.3 rpg while here, him being the inside scoring threat he was with a team of guards like we had this year...would have been magical I think.
Tyler Smith, had a huge bag even though he was only 6'7" he could score and did so much of his damage inside the arc. 14.9 ppg and 6.0 rpg in his 3 years here
Ron Slay, one of my favorite bigs we've had. High energy 6'9" not sure how he would have played under Barnes...wasn't exactly a defensive guy, but part of that was the way Green/Buzz coached teams. Still a career 14.4 ppg and 5.9 rpg in his 4 years here.
Vincent Yarbrough, not a big but one of those guards that could just go get buckets. At the rim or from deep or even at the line Vincent was something to watch. He played hard too, a defensive guy who would rebound almost the perfect player for Barnes if I'm honest.
Steve Hamer legit 7'0" who scored, rebounded and protected the rim. Finish his 4 years here with 13.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg, and 1.2 bpg. He got better every year he played here too, despite spending his time with 2 of the worst coaches in team history (Wade Houston then Kevin O'Neil) imagine how he would have developed under Barnes...
