There has been several "Fish" references, but I don't know whose nickname that was. Please elaborate.

Anyone remember Gabe's "almost" dunk at High Point. He got fouled and missed the dunk but it was a pretty unreal attempt. He didnt even make the dunk and it still one of the most memorable plays in my short LU history.

I remember it well.

Fish was a guy named Rodney Harrison. He came in with Steve Farquhar, Freddie Morgan (from the buzzer beater vs Mt St Mary's fame) and Gerald "G" Thomas. Fish and G left after the 1st semester of their JR year to attend Biola out in California. G, Fish and Freddie were my first real teammate friends from back in those days. Fish had some nasty dunks. Can't believe I forgot about him.

This is real old school...but anybody remember Robbie Waldrop from Winthrop. He could jump out of the gym, as well as shoot the 3...to bad he played for Kinney. I think his final year he was the winner of the Tull Cup.

[Cider Jim]

Scar, do you recall if Rodney "Fish" Harrison was from Chattanooga? If so, I think I had him in a class.

We're talking ancient history here, but Ed Vickers was certainly one of the more sensational dunkers to play for LU. I remember one tip-dunk in particular, against St Pauls where he went up for the board in the middle of 2 or 3 defenders and just kept rising til his hand was about a foot above the others, cupped the ball and put it down. I think he had 45 in that game, most of which were from downtown (2 points at a time style!)

Willard Deshazor played in the no-dunk era, but I saw him throw some down in pick-up games, and with that big fro you had to look twice to be sure it wasn't Dr. J.

Fish was fron Chattanooga...Yes I remember Robbie Waldrop. That kid was athletic. Kind of reminded me of Jay Boykin. Robbie played for Marshall and Meyer too and got a bs ring if I remember my chronology correctly.

Robbie got recruited by Kinney for the 96-97 season...he redshirted that year, then was a rs freshman in Kinney's last year. He played two years under Marshall, winning two rings. He came off the bench and hit a few big threes to help WU overcome an early deficit in the first half against UNCA in the title game in 2000. He ended up transferring after that season to Lees-McRae. He was a very solid dunker and was on the finishing end of many alley-oops w/ Tyson Waterman.

As for LU dunkers, Anthony Smith did have a few nasty ones this year that I saw, but Gabe Martin was probably the best I've seen (granted, I used to only see 1 or 2 LU games a year from 1996 until ScarVision became a part of my life).

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

My Favorite dunks would have to be Smitty on that guy from VMI in the quarter-final game... Brews flying one handed dunk... OR... not too many people saw this but i was at the LU/Florida practice.... i mean game... and Tyler Baker was posting Noah and Brewer jumped out on brew on the outside and brew beat him baseline and tyler gave him a no look behind the back bounce pass for a VERY nice play.

[ATrain]

Hey TBGBGBGBGBG...I don't recall your crush dunking? Is he ever, or has he and I just wasn't paying attention?

[kel varson]

I consider myself one of the experts on the Hankinson era (I know kind of like being an expert on the Great Depression). Nevertheless, the best dunker in game was probably Philip Ward, but he didn't have too many in the games.

Hanky's best game dunker's were Carl Williams, WVU transfer, Phil Ward and Vincet O'kotie.

Hankinson had good athletes but the teams played so bad together, and his offensive schemes were so poor that you seldom saw many dunks.

Mark Manley was great dunker during the couple years that he played but only dunked a couple times in games. I believe Maurice Watkins had a couple nice dunks as well.

Torin Beeler was a good practice dunker with a massive vertical.

[Sly Fox]

Fish actually attended high school in Nashville before coming to LU even though he was originally from Chatty (where I was born incidentally). And I may be wrong, but I could've sworn they transfered together to Masters College. Scar knew those guys better than me, so as I said I could be wrong.

TB didnt dunk he gave the GREAT pass to Brew for the dunk... but he can dunk!

I'm glad you said his name, because I was thinking about him, but couldn't remember if I had his name right. He did some nasty dunks in warmups.

Sly you are correct. It was Masters.

[Cider Jim]

Kel, since you are an "expert" in the Hanky era, why no reference to the Attaway dunk(s)?

The Attaway dunks weren't very many and they were pretty weak. Remeber, I was not talking about every single person that dunked. I was talking about the best dunkers. Attaway doesn't even come close. He was more along the lines of Nathan Day.

The only thing those links did was screw my internet connection up everytime I clicked them. And I tried on two different computers.

[LU'sbestmanager]

i got those from the liberty flames site in men's bball.

[TIMSCAR20]

Jon you have to have Window's media player. I have version 11 and it worked fine on my desktop at home.

[SuperJon]

I have Media Player on both, and that's what I tried opening it with. Oh well, I've seen em before.

[Sly Fox]

It plays fine for me as well. Are you on dial up?

[SuperJon]

Cable.

Oh well.

I started a thread like this a few months ago and nothing has changed.

Aluma had the nastiest dunk I've ever seen at any level of basketball, NBA included, back during the 96 or 97 season. I can't remember who we were playing or any other specifics. All I know is that it was unreal. A towering, over the top of everyone, dunk. It's like he grabbed the ball out of the lights to throw it down. It was unreal.

Also, probably the nastiest overall dunker LU has ever seen is a guy who never even played on the basketball team. He was a high jumper on the track team in the late '80's. I think his name is Mike Williams. He was an incredible dunker.
