I watch Procell in college at NSU. He was a great high school player, but not very effective as a Juco transfer to NSU.

Now these numbers are the ones that are reported. I know for a fact Anthony Aucoin had close to 3700 career points because i played with him and he is not on that list. So im sure there are many players left off of that list

Could be the case. I posted this list because the national rankings were so surprising.

Procell played against very weak competition in a small school classification. His mediocrity as a player is evidenced by the fact that no decent colleges wanted him.
Robert Parish played in the largest school classification and dominated. Every college in the US offered him a scholarship. The ABA also wanted him to sign right out of HS. When the NCAA put Centenary on probation they offered Parish the opportunity to transfer anywhere without losing a year. Bobby Knight begged him to come to Indiana (yep the team that went undefeated). Parish declined.

I am from right here in Zwolle where those guys Greg Procell and Tootsie Roll Meshell are local legends. Tootsie Roll is a distant cousin of mine and parish cop.

There were a lot of B and C class players on that list, not taking anything away from them but there is a big diff between a class C scorer and a class 5A player/scorer..
Ahhhh Anthony Aucoin if he could have spelt his name he could have improved his score on his ACT from a 4 to play D1. I still havent seen anyone who could play wth him in the BR area since he left. Man Woodlawn had a squad that year, w Lakeo Keller at the pernt... FREE THROWS!!

people have to remember that players like livingston and tweety played in the 3pt era where as tootsie roll and greg did not. I do believe there have been better players than greg but pure shooters he has to be the best

Buzwa, thanks for the link. Having played at BRHS long ago I do have some problems with his choices. Jim Taylor, yep, the Green Bay guy, was a high school all-american and a 3 year all-state player. Our coach was Pete Burge...in 3 years coaching us we won 3 district championships, runner up in state and the state championship in '54. He also produced 3 all state players. And the #1 coach on this list, Altobello, we beat him in the semifinals 2 years in a row. And, he never (like in NEVER) beat a Pete Burge coached team. And Bob Pettit on the 2nd team....ridiculous! Does make for interesting talk though.
