The ballots are closed and the 15 players will be revealed this Saturday. I had my prelim list. Here’s how I finally voted:
- Charles Smith
- Billy Knight
- Don Hennon
- Brandin Knight
- Clyde Vaughan
- Demetreus Gore
- Sam Clancy
- Sean Miller
- Carl Krauser
- Charles Hyatt
- Jerome Lane
- Brian Shorter
- Larry Harris
- Ricardo Greer
- Julius Page
I chose Ricardo Greer over other very good players on bad teams from the 90s — like Cummings and McCullough. Greer was such a force in his Senior year. Not just carrying the load all season, but the way he led a young team through the Big East Tournament all the way to that Championship game. He led as a Senior helping the transition from Willard to Howland. It showed a glimpse of how good he could have been with a full team. Not to mention what was to come the next few years for Pitt.
You can take a look at the resume of each nominated player. We’ll see how close I came to the actual selection.
