Allan Houston was all set to go to Louisville. In those days schools would give the Dad a job as an assistant coach to get the son. Rocky Top actually gave Wade Houston the head coach job. Of course he got his son Allan Houston to play (without a scholarship). Allan Houston and Hornacek are probably the only "walk-ons" to be NBA all stars. Deon Thomas was top 5 in this class. Illinois made the Final Four in 1989 and lost their starting frontcourt. Deon Thomas would've been a force for them on the baseline but the school sat him out his Freshman year. Iowa assistant coach Bruce Pearl (yes that Bruce Pearl) ratted Illinois out. The NCAA said he was eligible but the school sat him out. Iowa made the Final Four with 4 starters from Chicago with Lute Olsen as the head coach. They thought they had Deon Thomas

This is a pretty solid McDonald’s All-American class as there are players who had a pretty good career.

79, 81, 88, 95, 04, 07 are the best.

Kendall Gill was traded to Seattle from Charlotte for Eddie Johnson, Dans Barros, and the Sonics’ 1994 first round pick.

[@mongoslade277]

Kendall Gill went back to Charlotte in 1995-96. Charlotte traded him to the Nets for Kenny Anderson around mid-season

[@johns272]

Greg and Pat Graham were not related. That’s in depth research. 😂

Can you Imagine UNLV with J.R. RIDER on the 89/90 90/91 team if he didnt go to JR COLLEGE first!!!

[@kdeuce30]

Tracey Murray & Lamond Murray are cousins as well.

[@Riles3152]

Kenny Anderson should have been Nate Archibald 2.0. Should have stayed in college to mature another year.
