Mayberry, Day , and Moncrief are equally my 3 all-time fav UA bb players, so this is not some old guy "back in my day" opinion. But with the exception of Taylor's list (apparently), nobody with an ounce of knowledge of the Moncrief era at the UA would put Moncrief on the the bench. He was incredible. He was UA bb.

Walker was hard to leave off. It was down to him and Ronnie for me. Because I never got to see Walker play and because their stats are similar, I went with Ronnie. If Ronnie could have ever been on a college team where he wasn't the star player, he would have been amazing as a 2nd or 3rd option.

I started to do this, but I couldn't bring myself to leave some of these guys off. Man, for a little state, we sure have had some pretty good players up on the Hill over history.

When you said Ron Brewer, I thought you meant senior.  Walker was very good on the defensive end.  He was not overly fast, but he had extremely long arms with very quick hands.  That combination made it very rough of the opposing offenses.

I would place Ron Senior, Walker and Robertson all in front of Ron Jr.  Basketball is different now, and to Ron Jr defense he did not stay long enough to mature like many of the other former greats did.  Another year and I may have changed my mind and Jr would be in the last slot.

I agree. But, this wasn't the all time top 5 Razorbacks (Which would include Moncrief) this was the TEAM. I only assumed Nolan would be coach. Sid was a defensive nightmare, and would anchor my second unit. lol

Best Razorback would be defined by his body of work while at the UofA. JJ only played for the Hogs for 1 1/2 yrs. His stats and body of work is only for 1 1/2 yrs and while very good they do not necessarily trump the performance of the other players in the list who played 3 or 4 years.

I don't let academics and talent that is so good it moves up get in my way of who the best team would be. Joe was amazing on a sorry team and is on the list without question. To me it is almost like leaving Sidney or Day off. But that's just me.  I know people will laugh at this too but I also think Pargo was super underrated too because of his sorry team.

Are we basing this off of their overall career (incl nba) or just their time as Hog? Just based on their time as Hogs, I would have trouble removing anyone from dhornjr1's list to make room for Joe. If we are including nba resumes, then Joe and Moncrief would be consensus starters on this team.

So, by this rationale, William Mills should be on the list, right? He was without question one of the most talented players the Razorbacks have had. Hell, I guess Courtney Fortson and Patrick Beverley should be on there, too.

choppedporkextrasauce

Moncrief was such a great player, physically and mentally, he wouldn't care if he came of the bench if he thought it was best for team. No matter what he would be the leader.

I often imagine how great defensive players like Sidney, Alvin, and especially Darrell Walker would have fared in a 40 minutes of hell system. Darrell was such a defensive nightmare, and perhaps the greatest defensive guard we've ever seen at Arkansas, he'd have been a absolute terror on the press.

I wouldn't think to have the greatest player in school history as the anchor of the 2nd unit.

I get what you're saying, but seriously, Moncrief is the best player to ever play at Arkansas. Better than Corliss, even.

Agreed. When Moncrief left the UA...
-- he was first in all-time scoring; he is second now.
-- he was first in all-time rebounds; he is first now (at 6'3").
-- his rebounds/game are fantastic....'76  7.6/gm, '77  8.4/gm, '78  7.7/gm, and '79  9.6/gm.
-- assists don't appear in the UA record book till the '78 season. In '79, he led the team in assists, rebounds, and scoring.

Corliss and team got us a title, and for that I'll be forever grateful. IMO, Corliss ranks as our 2nd greatest Razorback bb player, only behind Moncrief.

Terry and Day were nothing special on defense, but they could fill it up. Beck was not a scoring machine, but his leadership and intangibles were off the charts.

Day and his long arms were great in Nolan's press.

 From when I started watching (1987) : Keith Wilson, Lang, Howell, Corliss, Scotty, Day, Mayberry, Big O, Joe Johnson, Beck, McDaniel, Brewer and many others. My first game was Rice vs Hogs at Barnhill and all I remember is Antonio Lang missing a major throwdown.

If the NBA Rule had started earlier, we could've added Al Jefferson to this list. He would've been an absolute beast, if only for a year.

271 steals, and 102 blocked shots as a wing player say he kind of was.

QuoteHow was Joe Johnson a better Razorback than Corliss Williamson or Sidney Moncrief?

He wasn't better than moncrief that is why he was second. And in my opinion, When Joe Played for Arkansas (Not NBA) He was the 2nd best player we ever had play for us. Corliss was awesome and probably 3rd or 4th Maybe Alvin, Their team definatley had more success. And I know we all love Big Nasty, but he wasn't even close to me talented wise as Joe was WHEN HE PLAYED FOR ARKANSAS. I understand that his team sucked though. It's kind of like Pargo who's go to guy was Dinizio Gomez, but that doesn't mean he wasn't awesome. I know you will all will disagree because of the national championship nostaligia, but Joe Johnson was a better PG and SG than Day or Mayberry as a freshmen, of course his TEAM wasn't as good.

By "nostalgia", do you mean multiple All-American honors?

Yes, Corliss' teams were much better than Joe Johnson's teams, but it has to be noted that he was a HUGE reason why. Think about how hard it is for a school to go to back-to-back national championship games. Razorbacks did that because they had a stud like Corliss. I just don't think you can come in here and argue that Joe Johnson was a better Razorback.....because his team was worse? I don't see how that really backs you up. Joe Johnson was a pretty good college player and Corliss was an exceptional college player. There really is no viable argument.

He did make at least one HS All-American team in both FB and BB. He was a S or DB in FB - imagine a 6'8" guy in the secondary.

I stated earlier that Moncrief, IMO, is the greatest BB Hog, with Corliss second. However my fav BB Hog was/is Todd Day. Despite his faults, I loved his defense (especially in the press),his shooting, lanky-bodied drives to the basket, his swagger, etc. Yes, he could score 20 points in a half, then 0 in the other half (seems like something similar occurred notably in the '92 NCAA 2nd Rd game vs Memphis, and in the '91 Elite 8 game vs KU), but I loved his game overall.

Stats:
Corliss- 19 pts, 7 rebs, 2 assts
JJ- 15 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assts

Corliss won lots more than JJ, of course. Corliss playing with more talent around him helped him on the team success but probably took away from his individual numbers a bit (although they're still better than that of JJ).

I know you still won't budge, b/c that's what ppl do on here, but unless you're looking at Nba success as a factor there's no way you can say JJ was better.

choppedporkextrasauce

Joe Johnson should not even be considered among the great.

He played less than 2 seasons.

Other players gave far more and should receive far more consideration that a player who used the Hogs simply as a stepping stone to the pros.

Since JJ played on a much lesser team, he should've had much better numbers than Corliss. Corliss played with multiple guys who could score 20 each night. So, the fact that CW had better numbers leaves no real argument for JJ.

Quoteno way you can say JJ was better

Joe Johnson was better. And it wasn't really close.
