This list is the result of multiple hours of research but is not intended to be the final word. I hope it helps you appreciate some of the great athletes and peripheral individuals who have gone through the UL turnstiles and played or have been a part of the professional ( pro ) ranks.

Judi Ford and Ali Landry might be athletic but not athletes.

[gridiron]

BJ Ryan is injured he won't repeat I nominate Charles Tillman for 2007

_ Judi Ford and Ali Landry might be athletic but not athletes. _

Judi Ford was world class Trampolinist. She had a scholarship at USL at the time I was in college. She competed and it was her talent in Miss America Pagaent.

Turbine,

This guy had a pretty good career in the NFL.

Todd Scott was an American football player who played defensive back for four different NFL teams. He went to the Pro Bowl after the 1992 season with the Minnesota Vikings.

6th round selection by the Vikings in '91.

Great that is the kind of info needed.

I can't see him bumping Brian in 91 or Hollis in 92 but the Pro Bowl and a very good season happened in 93.

So how do you see Scott and Brooks stacking up in 1993 or any other year?

From what I remember, I don't think Brooks ever actually played much in the NBA. Scott definitely had a better American pro career than Brooks ever did.

LOL. Lately it's been more like a sieve. Got a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff in there.

BTW - I remember the first game at Cajun Field like it was yesterday. Then again, I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday.

But I will be at the IPF on 2/4/2009 for the signing bash and hope to be at Lady Cajun Park on 2/6. That is relevant.

Turbine I was told that Lamar maybe led the NBA in assists with LA!!!!

[Turbine]

_ Turbine I was told that Lamar maybe led the NBA in assists with LA!!!! _

If he led the league it was probably the ABA he had 427 assists in 74-75.

Bo only played 1 year in the NBA and had 177 assists that year.
