I think Knight kicked him off scholarship, but paid his tuition afterwards. I will have to get my book out, Bob referenced something about Winston in it.

IUFLA Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Gotta go Jumping Johnny Wilson too. 30 points in the 1946 high school championship game. He never got the opportunities some had later on. He'd be a 5 star + today. Best that went to IU? For my money, Bobby Wilkerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess two ways you could look at it...overall or IU career... Still might go with Wilkerson on the latter one though. Jumped center, guarded the other teams best player...Michigan was the second best team in the nation in 76 with Grote and Green at the guard spots, but Wilkerson and Buckner were both lockdown defenders. That was the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the difference. I was young in '76. But if IIRC Bobby went down at the tail end of the 1st half never to return. I do believe Michigan led at halftime. But I could be wrong. Tolbert started all 4 years of his IU career. 3 NCAA appearances, 2 B1G titles, NCAA title, Big 10 MVP, and scored over a 1,000 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
