greg haggard Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I am from Anderson so I will not participate in this one. But this board has some of the most knowledgeable basketball aficionados I've encountered. I'm very interested to see what names are put forward.

5fouls Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'll go Eric Anderson for IU and Kenny Anderson overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 For IU. Bobby Wilkerson slightly over Ray Tolbert. I'm honestly not aware of anyone else from Anderson that made the NBA, so those 2 may be 1 & 2 overall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Not really familiar with HS aspect of Anderson other than my lifetime. Thinking of the IU guys...Tolbert, Robinson, Morgan. Is there someone else? For the others ya got Troy Lewis(Purdue), Gary McGhee(Pitt), Kojak Fuller(Prison) and then I don't know. I gotta believe Ray is the man for both...but I would assume there might be some old timer I am not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everett Case Norm Sloan was from Anderson as well....but I can't find anything about him playing basketball in HS. But he did play for Case at NC State and later coached the '74 Wolfpack to the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I gotta go Jumpin' Johnny Wilson! I'm biased though, his grandson was a high school teammate of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 2 minutes ago, rico said: Was he pre Troy Lewis? Or there at the same time? I think Andre was older and if he was one of them that got in trouble in Hawaii then that would be in the late 70's. Troy Lewis was in the mid 80's and played at the same time as Alford.

Rev_AK Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Getting ahead of the next thread, but, Floyd County: Pat Graham and Romeo, Romeo being best of all also in my area Clark County Chuck Franz. (Clarksville- was phenomenal high school player) Sherron Wilkerson with chuck being probably the best, although Jeff high has a rich history as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
