Which of your former players does this best describe?

I'm not sure I get this. If a player has talent and production, it seems the recognition comes organically. Are you talking national recognition, NBA etc?

Luke hancock

Russ smith if we are talking no nba

Lurks just showin off his ability to bar graph.

Doron Lamb at Kentucky. At worst a top 2 SG of the Calipari era at UK. 47% from three over 2 seasons. Great defender and ball handler. Doesn't get nearly the love that guys like Murray, Wall, and Knight do.

Paul Reed and Max Strus recently.

On the opposite end is Charlie Moore who had tons of recognition but was lacking talent and production.

Good one.

He got some hype when he was injured in 2012, but I think Ryan Kelly fits this bill well. Offensive threat, playmaker from the post, and a really underrated defender. He changed how a team looked when he was on the court A LOT more than some of Duke’s “stars”

Anthony Epps from Pitino’s team fits this bill.

Worked with Larry's sister. She is a cool one!

Larry's uncle... or was it his father I can't remember... anyway... he went overseas with him a few years when he signed his first contract.

Dude was a great one hell yeah.

I’ll say Terance Mann. Dude just filled up a stat sheet and made winning plays.

He’s finally getting a little bit of notice in the league, mainly because of how much PG13 and Kawhi sing his praises in interviews.

 

[Villian07]

^^^^ mighta had go with trent forrest if i was a fsu guy, but idk what king of recognition he got among fsu fans.

kid was a winner.

(not a knock on mann, or anyone else)

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Easily Zavier Simpson. Dude had one of the best college careers of any Michigan player of the past 25 years and not even Michigan fans realize how special he was.

I’d say half the home board last year was happy with Mike Smith over Simpson which is laughable at best and downright stupid in reality.

 

[Villian07]

Was simpson the pg who would randomly drive the lane and put up magic-esque hook shots despite being pretty small???

If so i concur, i really liked his game.
