Good list though - one heck of a site you have there Sigma.

I concur Sercer (Welcome to the site BTW) I woud see that #4 will be changing Rice soon as well.

[sigma804]

Thanks. I waffled between the three (Hillary, Wright, and Bethea). I think Bethea was the most physically talented of the 3. I agree that another year like this past one and Sid will be the #4.

Amen... i cant believe he wasnt there already...but i can see him moving there

[SangareeCrew]

Some people think that troy W was the best #82.....

I've got to go with #82 BRIAN SCOTT for that one....did MUCH more in the Gamecock uniform.

And IRA HILLARY for #1. Hands down.

[SangareeCrew]

And you gotta love that #31- Thomas Dendy!!!

[jabrahamfan94]

91 John Stamper
95.. the one and the only... John Abraham

[oburg]

glad to see #43 Dickey Harris on there.

The one thing that propels Scott over Troy is that he stayed all 4 years to play. If Troy would have stayed he would have been it by a long shot. But Scott did much more, including leaping over Thornton in '01 at UGA to put us ahead.

I like #11 - Rashad Faison he was such a treat to watch on the defensive side of the ball. He gave the Gamecocks 110% everytime he played!

[cockyhoskins]

Great list sigma!

[Sea Bass]

#1 has to be Hillary

[rock23aj]

Id have to go with Duce Staley over Troy Hambrick for #19 as well.

I didn't notice this originaly sigma. Looks like you were fighting between David Pitchko and Andrew Pinnock. Funny thing is, I was debating between those very two players myself(as far as former players).

[gotrice?]

#21 Ryan Brewer

I agree and plus he was a great friend and study partner
I used to keep in touch with him, but have not heard from him since last summer.
