BJ Williams. If not him, Chima Uzowihe

Ha...my only on field/court connection to Liberty was a failed attempt at walking onto the basketball team in I think 2004 when He Who Shall Not Be Named called me Hargrave because I wore my PT shirt for tryouts

Wait you tried to walk onto the basketball team??

I did. I figured I had nothing to lose by trying so I gave it a shot. That's actually how I met He Who Shall Not Be Named I believe

BJ, I thought you were a swimmer!? And a BB gun champion!

It's a small sample size, but I'm voting for Evan Maxwell.

Call me old and slow, but I could use some clarification. Is this for the 15-16 academic year or the 2015 calander year ( meaning last season´s Spring sports and this year´s Fall sports?) If the latter, which basketball season do we use? I refuse to pick anyone from last years basketball team.

This is for calendar year 2015. You can use someone from either basketball season. That individual's contributions for both seasons will be taken into consideration.

For a little bit more information, we will start voting next week from a pool of 10 candidates. That pool of 10 will be narrowed to the 3 finalists after 2 weeks of voting. Then, we will have 2 weeks of voting between the finalists.

All sports should be considered.

For an example, here's a link to last year's 10 initial nominees - http://www.libertyflamesnation.com/flam ... year-2014/

Ashley Rininger. I have to say I can´t think of a single male athlete nearly as worthy.

I was actually a swimmer Cider...There's a lot some people could learn about me if they spent more time actually getting to know me instead of making fun of me on here (ahem, PH, postie, and shorty for starters)


Id also like to nominate Darrin Peterson, Ednah Kurgat and Natalie Barr

BJ - we love you, but we also love messing with you. Come on - you give us plenty of ammo - applying for CCU job, putting you name in for LU coaching positions, trying out for MBB team, swimmer? I swim, but I'm not a swimmer... Are you a competitive swimmer or can you stay afloat if someone pushes you in a pool?

1) it was the PC job not the CCU job. I wouldn't betray my alma mater like that by going to our soon to be former conference rival.
2) I actually was a competitive swimmer. Went to state twice in high school...after overcoming a severe fear of water. I injured my knee in military school and that ended that chapter in my story

Someone needs to make a movie about BJ.

You'd need to take WAY too much creative license to make that a) believable and b) watchable

There is basically no such thing as too much creative license in the movie-making business. Believability is not a factor either.

no creativity needed, it would be very entertaining! I would go see it!

Who would play BJ?

I think maybe Tyler Perry could pull it off. Come to think of it, he could write the script too.

I don't know, he wouldn't take this project serious enough.

Let's get Zaki Gordon Center of Cinematic Arts on it right away.

Hard to choose between Denzel Washington and Will Smith for that role.
