Hawkeye hoops experts, which one of these three would have been the best player?

Ray Thompson, easily. Started and scored in double figures as a freshman on a team with upperclass starters Marble, Armstrong, Horton, and Les.

McD's AA, too. think the others were sort of legendary for unknown-ness but he showed a ton as an actual player.

Ray is the correct answer. Joey Range was carrying extra lbs at Iowa but he could've been a very good player, had he not been a cloudhead.

Always wondered what might have been for Rodell with healthy knees.

Well, if we're talking injuries, you gotta mention Settles. That eighteen year old was motherfucking nails.
He was a SE Iowa stud, no doubt. I was once on a 6th grade team that led his squad by 15 at half. I think he outscored us by 30 in the second. He was a head taller than anyone on the court, and he had a huge head for a kid.

Is Ray Thompson the one that got pulled over for OWI or something and asked the cops "Do you Know who I am?"

Nevermind DMOFR:

  • Ray Thompson, public intoxication/simple assault/interference with official acts (1989) [from Dec. 2, 1989 Gazette: “arresting officer Kevin Berg…said Thompson asked Berg if Berg knew who he was and Berg said no… Thompson said he was someone who was a household name”]

Fuck Hunter Rawlings

This. At any other Big Ten school, Thompson plays in the '89 tournament, and is eligible in spring '90.

His "our standards will be even higher" approach was noble, but not with the mission of a large state university.

My aunt was wearing an Iowa shirt in Vegas 4 or 5 years ago when a large man stopped and asked if she was an Iowa fan.

Long story short Ray Thompson sat and talked to her and my uncle for a half hour about Iowa City and Iowa basketball. He loved it here and hates the way it ended.
