A thread about Marquette's Dominic James got me thinking about some players in college basketball who just seem to play for way too many years. Who are some that you can think of?

 

Tom Coverdale- Indiana

Chris Hill- Michigan State

Devendorf from Syracuse.

McNamara was at Syracuse for WAY too long.

Milt Wagner at UL. It seemed as if he played there for 10 years.

Granville Waiters OSU. Back in the day. Then he reappeared as a 40 year old frosh but went by the name of Oden.

The red hair guy at Georgia.

Dan Federman at Tennessee

Elliott Perry at Memphis State

Ricky Blanton at LSU

Thats the one that sticks out in my mind.It seemed like every time UC played them for about 7 years, he was on the team.

Certainly James from Marquette & Chris Hill from Michigan State.

 

Jeff Brassow, though not an upper-tier player, seemed to be @ UK forever. I've always referred to these types of players as being on "The Jeff Brassow Scholarship."

 

Wasn't there a John Caylor from Auburn back in the 80's, maybe early 90's? I think he was around for 6-7 years.

 

Patrick Ewing, just because he was so dominant (and played four years) seemed to be around forever too.

Eric Montross seemed like he was with UNC for 8 years when he played.

Watched him in the Derby Festival Basketball Classic in Louisville when he was a HS senior.

Has Ricky Blanton left LSU yet?

Ronald Steele - Alabama

Always seems like there is someone named Rolle that is playing for LSU that makes me believe he has been there since the Reagan administration.

 

Novak for Marquette as well.
