Wingate was a banger down low? You kidding me? Dude was a stick pole hanging out in the high post with opponents begging for him to get the ball

Hendrix
Brian Williams
Wayne Chism
Dane Bradshaw

All much better post players than Wingate.

Yes I said Dane Bradshaw.

When Wingate was dismissed, he was at his best. He was averaging 10.6 pts and 4 rebs when he was booted, had improved every year, and I think he was only getting better. That first team of Pearl's could have done some real damage in the NCAA tournament if he hadn't been kicked off IMO. Losing him almost entirely restricted us to being a perimeter team, and perimeter-oriented teams generally struggle come tournament time.

That said, he might not even make the top-25 of players over the last 12 years I'd like to bring back if we could. He wasn't that good or impactful.

Go back a little farther and I would say Houston and I don't mean Wade!
