Comparison of low post players at Bradley - past 25 years

I see a lot of criticism of our post players...but let's see how they stack up vs. our best in the past 25 years...

I went back 25 years - back to the Albeck era and culled the stats of all the low post/centers and ranked them in order....if I missed anyone lmk...
Our guys this year share the low post spot while a lot of guys in the past have planted themselves there all alone and yet - I think our current guys have proven themselves sufficiently - but this locks in even more the proof that our current guys are top notch.

Here are the BEST season totals among low post players - I did not count guys like Cellus, Granger, Parker - they do not fit the definition.

SCORING
15.4 Bayo 98
13.4 POB 06
12.4 Bayo 97
11.6 Funches 96
11.3 Pickett 13
11.1 Zach A 07
10.0 POB 05
8.9 Egolf 13
8.0 Egolf 11
7.9 Pollard 93
7.8 Pross 12
7.2 Funches 95
7.0 Egolf 10
7.0 Rabey 01
7.0 Salley 07
6.8 Pollard 94
6.3 Hall 02
6.1 Salley 08
6.0 Prosser 13
5.3 Prosser 11

So - SEVEN of the TOP 20 scoring seasons in the past 25 years by our low post guys are the guys we have RIGHT NOW..
and FOUR of the TOP dozen!!
guys like David Collins, Zach in '06, Koita - don't even make the list!!!


So - as much as we all would like to see a Bayo or a POB at BU - it simply doesn't happen often and the guys we have NOW do not deserve the criticism they get.
   


Here's rebounding going back to the Albeck era among our low post guys...
I did not include the guys from the 80's Massive Mike, Reese, Luke Jackson, etc...


Rebounds
8.3 POB 06
8.2 Bayo 98
7.4 POB 05
7.3 Rabey 01
7.0 Zach A 07
6.9 Salley 08
6.5 Prosser 12
6.0 Bayo 97
5.7 Tyshon 13
5.5 Egolf 13
5.5 Prosser 12
5.3 Funches 96
5.3 Pollard 93

again - the guys we have right now make up 1/3 of the top dozen rebounding seasons..........
the following starters ......Koita, Hall, Stewart, Funches, Pollard, Collins, Zach, Salley -- all had years where they were our MAIN low post guys and did not make this list!!
If you carry the list further - you see Egolf had two other seasons with more rpg than Collins' best year, or Koita's or Hall's or anyone else form the 90's..
