I played with 2 very good basketball players in High School. Austin Nichols who had an extremely good game against LSU for Memphis earlier this year. I also played with Leslie McDonald who plays for UNC right now. The best we ever played against would have to be Lance Stephenson in some tournament in Florida. I never ever got to go up against him directly, but Barrett Jones would be up there for football.

The most impressive athlete though has to be Greg Hardy, who plays D-end for the Panthers. He came back in practiced with our basketball team and his athleticism was just scary. He would jump and grab a rebound at the top of the backboard with ease.

Josh Beckett. 1-0 lifetime record against.

I also played baseball against Drew Brees but I don't know if that counts since it's his off sport.

Played against Eddie Lacy 4 years straight and Eric Reid 3 years. Not fun. No one was close to them.

Ben Selman. RB/MLB, CF/3 hole hitter, could play any position on the court before he quit to focus on football and baseball. Lacked size to play d1

Went against Eddie Lacy and Eric Reid every year. Dallas Thomas, Brandon Bolden, and Herman Lathers. Janzen Jackson. Prentiss Waggner(did way better than i expected he would in college).

Didnt play bball, but my 2 best friends did and i always went to their games. Watched them play against Greg Monroe. Didnt look like he did anything impressive. Stat sheet was like 36 and 16 haha.

Wilfred Journet was the most dominating player i played against. From Acadiana. He single handily beat us in the semi finals of playoffs. Was a monster. Had grade issues and dont think he made it to D1 ball. Wonder what hes doing now...

I was actually matched up against Lacy and Bolden 1on1 when we played them. Lacy was the type of player that you would go to tackle and he would just slip off of you and you had no idea how. Bolden would just lower his head and flat out crush you. Plus, he ran behind Dallas Thomas, who was like 6'7 300 in high school and a 3rd round pick in the draft last year. And Herman Lathers was all over the field on D. I was very tired after playing that game

In baseball? I'd have to make a list.

In Basketball? Non competitively, Marquette basketball players. Competitively, probably Jeremiah Rivers.

Jarvis Landry-watched him sprint from his spot at returner to the line of scrimmage & kill our fullback on a fake punt, the collision sounded like a gunshot went off
Terrance Magee-hell of a left handed pitcher, you couldn't touch his off speed stuff
Stevan Ridley-truck stick like a boss

Also some guy with the last name of Cutchins (sp?) from Westlake. Beat them in the quarters in '98 baseball playoffs, but that guy threw gas and pitched his arse off.

Had to block Michael Brockers in high school. Needless to say it didn't go well for me. 200 lb tight end against a future D1 athlete
