Not sure Loren "ran into a train". Sort of the other way around.

My favorite Floyd comment on Loren:

"If he doesn't improve he won't be playing in the NBA, but in the Ruthven Church League." (something like that)

Loren's reply:
"The joke's on him. Ruthven doesn't have a church league."

Actually, I think the train was moving and he ran through the gate and hit the train--foggy maybe?

Big Vic has better stats than Meyer, but hard to compare as they had quite a bit different supporting casts.


i loved Vic. not much support around him and he played on some bad teams. to still end up with over 1800pts and 800 rebs is great. didn't Cato miss time his jr yr due to his transfer?

If forwards are going to be listed then Zaid Abdul-Aziz has to be on the list. Dude went 5th overall, come on.

Edit: Also holds the ISU records for most PPG in a career (22.3), and RPG in a career (13.7).

You listed a bunch of guys who weren't centers.

1. Kelvin Cato
The guy was a defensive enforcer, and owned the paint.
2. Loren Meyer
He might have been a head case, but when he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted.
3. Victor Alexander
I'm not sure that I'd call him lazy, because I saw him working a lot, at State Gym or running laps at Lied--but always at the slowest pace possible. I never understood why he didn't "get" that. Still, he had soft hands and a great touch wherever he got the ball.
4. Dean Uthoff
Rebound city, the guy owned the boards.
5. Jared Homan
Matured into good effort as an upperclassman.
6. Ron Fallenschek
Hey, it's not a long list of true centers.
7. Justin Hamilton
Yes, he already makes the list--and can move up quite a few notches really quickly next season.

Brackins, Fizer, Vroman, Hubalek, etc, are not centers. For that matter, Sam Hill, David Moss and Lafester Rhodes at times played center, but weren't, either.

Huh? I wouldn't be surprised to see Hamilton make that list some day but you say he already made the list. Crazy
