That is true. Similarly, I would take college Laettner well ahead of college Shaq.also, before anyone starts the Jordan noise, college Jordan wasn't anything close to what NBA Jordan was.
College Pete is easily hands down better than College Jordan.
Pro Jordan, well Pete doesn't even get mentioned in this discussion.
Maybe Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf could be the fifth?

that's Chris Jackson before he converted to islam (which led to end of his career in america).
When I was at OSU, a certain Big-time player was in buckeyefool's class at Hitchcock 131. When exam time came around, the football player was all of a sudden a 5'3 Asian guy.
so an asian guy stole a scholarship by having someone else fill in for him at practices and games?
PG - Chris Jackson (still holds NCAA freshman scoring record)
SG - Pete Maravich (still holds NCAA scoring records for total points scored, career ppg, top 3 ppg for a season)
C - Shaq
SF - Bob Pettit
PF - don't have a surefire answer here, but several who would fit nicely as the fifth guy.
Maravich's scoring records will likely never be broken.
Steph Curry was the most recent feller to have a shot. But it would have taken Curry a 4th year (Pete only played 3 due to freshmen being ineligible to play back then). Curry also had the benefits of 3 point line (nonexistent in Pet's day) and a shot clock (also didn't exist yet).
him and Jackson semi-resembled each other. not a ton, but a lil bit.
I have a couple more things to add. Mark Stoops is running a very clean program at UK now, realized he didn't have to cheat to get solid Ohio kids. UK has, believe or not, outstanding football complex, and surprisingly great support for a program its size. Under Joker it was not the cleanest or tightest ship.
Like I said before Auburn is by far the worst cheater in the SEC. Like with Cam, they do it by proxy giving them deniability. Something else I heard during my time was Urban wasn't well liked in the SEC because he had no problem turning other schools in for things he heard while on the road. Coach Meyer won in the SEC and did it while trying to run a clean program. However, I also heard he didn't run a tight ship at all and tried to let the players police themselves. He filled a team with players who couldn't be controlled, who looked at football as a means to a million dollar end. Harvin, not Hernandez being the worst during his time. You can have 5 of those guys, not 30. When half of them didn't show up to a team meeting days before the Cincy game he knew it was time.
That's pretty much all I got from my time as a GA. Alot of it is just hearsay from around the league, so TIFWIW.
PS. Saban is a dick and Miles was awesome. Also, Muschamp was a prick, awful to work for apparently.
Hmmm... Remember Muschamp's comment "thanking" tOSU for knowing a thing or two about NCAA violations? I dismissed the quote given it came from Muschamp, but this information makes me wonder... But I never doubted the following:...

This whole post and the previous posts by @Rent Free also reminds me of the days leading up to the Meyer hiring at tOSU, and the Gene Smith's quote later on UFM's demands before being hired. Smith said that Meyer wanted to ensure that there were no violations other than what was already out. And if there was any revelations of violations, UFM's contract stipulated that he would be able to walk away. After further investigation, Gene Smith agreed, which says a lot about the program. I didn't know about the information in this thread then, and I dismissed the information as irrelevant. But given this information, I suspect Urban knew about this, and wanted to make sure that he wasn't walking into a shithole.I have a couple more things to add.
