Michael Cage, my generation. And he had to play under Smokey Gains, not Coach Fish. And #2 M.J. Cage.

1. Malcolm Thomas- hometown kid, loved his blocks, passing, and his quick spin move.
2. Tim Shelton - After his injury, to basically be asked to be our only big after the Sweet Sixteen team graduated/ went pro, his legit rapping, and all those charges.
3. Aerick Sanders - the guy worked so hard to become The stud that he was as a senior. plus, nice guy I ran into once passing a ticket downtown.

Billy, not even close Taps second Malik will be #3 soon and make a run at #1 for me. Why would you choose Billy? With all due respect, it seems like he was purely on the Mesa for poonannie. I've never seen a 6'8" beast run so quickly, like an antelope. He could be in the NBA right now, if he had any discipline. Seriously.

Hmm tough call. I'm sure Tapley missed a shot or two vs. Tenn, but wasn't it Kawhi that missed the corner shot as the clock was winding down? Kawhi missed a desperation trey at the buzz with a guy draped all over him that would've tied the game. KL was about a 15% 3-pt. shooter at the time, so that shot had little chance anyway. But Chase missed about as good a look as you're ever going to get down the stretch of such an important game. He was WIDE OPEN in the corner. Not a defender for 15 feet. He launched a shot that for all the world looked like it was going to go in, but ultimately rattled out. The Aztecs were down by 1 at the time. I'm convinced that had Chase made that shot, SDSU would've won. To compound matters, he turned around and fouled his man a few seconds later. The Tenn player sank both FTs, putting the Aztecs down by 3. They never recovered. Having said all that, Chase was playing with a broken shooting hand and had a sort of splint/brace on it. I have no doubt he'd have nailed that shot were it not for his injury. C'est la vive. scores.espn.go.com/ncb/playbyplay?gameId=300772633Good call, LTB - that's what I vaguely remember as well (Chase having a broken hand). Good memory.

Of course, and let's not forget that was Al "Cadillac" Catlin. When I made my post, I couldn't come up with Shawcroft's name, and I wish I could remember his fellow guard at the time. They certainly got some steals and fast break baskets together.

So many players to choose from, I can agree with most all of the names submitted above. I don't really know how to decide on just one player out of all the players I've watched during my lifetime, and especially since Fisher took over.
I'll have to say Tony Gwynn and Kim Goetz simply because that's the time frame of when I became a basketball fan and more specifically a fan of SDSU.

I've never seen a 6'8" beast run quickly, like an antelope. He could be in the NBA right now, if he had any discipline. Seriously. I also choose Billy White, and maybe its the rose colored glasses of history, but I just remember him being a hard playing, hustling, passionate player. He had a great EFG% (better than even KL his senior year), good on the glass, and played solid D; I know he wasn't the best player but the way he played was what made him a favorite for me. As far as what he did on campus, I had already graduated so I couldnt tell you. But if we are gonna hate on people for chasing skirts in college then our list of players (and posters on this board) may be limited.
