Vertical jump only. Style points count too.
Here is my short list in no particular order....

1. Ronald Dupree
2. Darrell Mitchell
3. Al Green
4. Chris Jackson
5. Daddy Dale Brown after beating Wichita State
in the dome to go to the Final Four.

Duh....Tyrus. Explosive jumper, he could block a shot from across the court.

Dennis Brown.... that was the name I was hunting for earlier. Didn't he play at Woodlawn in the early 80's?

Tyrus and Vernel should be on there, definitely ahead of Chris Jackson. He had good ups for a guy his size, but not on a scale comparable to Tyrus or Vernel, or Scales. Also, didn't Darryl Joe have some amazing leaps? Or am I confusing that memory with someone else?
