Most overrated men's bball player ever at UK

Featured Replies

How about some of the Mr. Basketball players? Wasn't there a guy named Ray Carruth for UK? I thought he was gonna be somebody, maybe that was just me. (No I don't mean the killer guy either)

 

Rashad Carruth. He and Tubby didn't get along.

I have seen a lot of names that could be, but for the people who did not see Richard Madison play he takes it hands down.

Danny Hall

 

Who was the red-headed kid from Kentucky a few years back? I can't remember if he was a walk-on or scholarship...

Cory Sears. He and Gerald Fitch were the participants of a fight on the way back from a game. A proud member of "Team Turmoil".

Maybe I am looking at this wrong, but the majority of those listed I would view more as people that did not live up to expectations, rather than overrated.

 

I guess you could view it as some of these kids were overrated out of high school, though.

 

A lot of people think Shagari Alleyne was a good player. I thought he was one of the more overrated players I have ever seen and would be player number 13 of my depth chart of 12 people. He was slow, could not catch, uncordinated, etc.

A friend made this comment to me and I thought it would make for an interesting thread, have at it..........

 

The only UK player in history more overrated than Joe Crawford is Derick Hord.

 

I tend to agree. I remember reports that Derick Hord was going to be unstoppable and maybe the greatest UK player ever.

 

That sounds right...I remember my dad talking about Hord in that regard.

Saul Smith

 

I would say he was one of the most underrated players.

The All Time Bad Homegrown Team:

 

G Todd Tackett

G Jody Thompson

G Josh Carrier

G Brandon Stockton

C Jared Carter

G Chris Harrison

 

 

Who else belongs on this list?

 

At least wait until guys finish up their career.

Rod Rhodes has to be on the list. Marvin Stone definitely has to be on the list. I would say Gimel Martinez has to be on it as well (he was a McD's All-American, after all).

 

Rondo is a candidate. As for Jason Parker & Rashaad Carruth, I hesitate to put them on there, because they only played one year. I also hesitate to put Crawford on it because his career isn't finished.

Again, I think most are putting down players that did not meet expectations our of high school. I still view overrated as someone who the media or fans play out to be a lot better than they are really are... I am sticking with Alleyne. A lot thought he was good, I believe he sucked.

I'm going with you on this one...he couldn't play in my church league.
