Funny you should list Todd as I thought his dad was a much better player and one of the most exciting small points you'll ever have watched play.  I'm with talksalot in also mentioning Vern Curtis.  That team,including Tom Smith and Dick Jones, averaged over 90 points BEFORE the 3 point line came into play.  Bruce Lindner has also have to be in the top 10.

Let's mention Rich Eynon and Steve Cook and center Ken Rakow to complete the note.

I guess I have to come clean: I was listing my all former Valpo high school team.

Good point 62.  I remembered the Steve Cook was also a track star.  So I checked the record book and, yeah, he was a star to say the very least.  To this day he holds school records in 55 and 60 yard indoor hurdles as well as 110 meters and 330 yard hurdles outdoors and tied for the 100 yard dash record. Amazing.

I would think that Antonio Falu would go on that infamous list.  He seems to have turned things around since then.

This probably belongs in the "Where Are They Now" thread but here is what Falu is doing today. Salsa anyone?

I forgot that he was 6'6".  For some reason, I remember him as being 6'2"-6'3".

Rob Kesler perhaps. I think he was from Warsaw.

Yes, it was Rob Kesler. Once I saw the last name, the name rang the bell.
