Corliss won a national title and an NBA title with 6th man of the year in Detroit. I guess Sheed and Williamson were 2nd behind Kidd’s achievements in this class. Awesome talent in 92.
I almost forgot about Othella Harrington. I remember Othella was so hyped coming to G-town in the wake of Mourning and Mutombo but he never became the star he was supposed to be. More solidly productive than spectacular in college. Too small to be a true center but not quick enough to really hang around faster power forwards he was a classic tweener. He hung around the NBA a very long time, though. It was weird to turn on a game a few years ago and see him on the Bobcats.
I just googled Vandale Thomas. Interesting story. He played 2 years at Miss State, then went undrafted by the NBA. He's an accountant in New Orleans now. He's being investigated for over-billing the city for his work. He was claiming billable hours of over 100 per week, at about $180 per hour. One year, he billed so many hours that it averaged 24.5 hrs per day, 365 days per year. I would guess Mr. Thomas will be doing some jail time soon.
@AntiMTVMovement Just think if Stackhouse and Wallace would have stayed at UNC all 4 years. They probably would have been the team to beat in there Junior and Senior Year because there were a couple more players that came in the following classes in Vinceanity (Vince Carter) and Antwan Jamison. I think the point guard of UNC was pretty good too. He had to be because it was a Dean Smith coached team.
Don't get me wrong Kidd was a special special player but Kidd is the best rebounding guard ever and one of the best passers ever. I think Hill could have been a hall of famer but Kidd has the most triple doubles ever. But I think the biggest difference is that kidd hasn't missed the playoffs since his second year in the league and led his team to two straight championship series while Hill even when he was healthy was never the dominant force kidd was
Vandale was the truth. Lawrence County, Mississippi. He was just dumb to go to MS State. He battled Ronnie Henderson, Jesse Pate, and Othello Harrington all through highs school. He was teammates with Erick Dampier.
Kidd is a top ten point but Grant was probably a top five small forward. He was well rounded like JKidd but he could score the basket far better than Kidd ever could.
Too bad Othella chose Georgetown instead of Arkansas. He could have been a part of that 1994 national championship squad with Corliss Williamson and Scotty Thurman, and might have been the guy that got the Hogs over UCLA in 1995 for back-to-back titles. Instead, Corliss and the Hogs beat Othella and the Hoyas in the 2nd round of the "94 Tourney, 85-73. Corliss and the Hogs also beat Stackhouse, Wallace and UNC in the 1995 Final Four. Corliss was the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 1992. His #34 jersey hangs in the rafters of Bud Walton Arena at Arkansas, right next to Sidney Moncrief's jersey, and the 1994 national championship banner.
@@Belburg Lucky? That's like saying Duke got lucky to beat UNLV in 1991. It's asinine! Luck is part of the game, that's true, but to dismiss a fair and square victory as just luck is bullshit. Arkansas has been a powerhouse a number of times. They may not have the history of UNC, but not many teams do.
@@redleg1971 Stackhouse got injured the first play of the game. To some, that might be a coincidence, but to me, no. Arkansas played a solid game, but that one thing defines the whole scenario. That, and Rasheed getting chumped by Corliss Williamson.
he was about to show rashard griffith but the video went off. he played at king h.s. in chicago.they were the no.1 team in america that following year. but he wasn't shit at wisconson, mike finley was the man.
They were in the '93 class. If you listen at the start of the Stackhouse clip they say he's possibly the best junior in the nation.
Jason Kidd, Othella Harrington, Vandale Thomas and Corliss Williamson were all in the 92 class if you were listening

Rasheed was class of 93
That was a great class right there.
Hahaha this is the only time you will ever hear "Rasheed Wallace," "consistent," and "willowy frame" in the same sentence. Ever.
uuummmmmmm Jason Kidd is one of the 10 greatest PGs of all time even if he hadn't gotten injured Hill wouldn't be up there.
Big Nasty
YOOOO!!!
J KIDD! Bring back the HIGH TOP FADE SON!!
Who in the Thomas is Vandale Thomas. I don't remember him in college. Did he even play in D 1 College Basketball?

Othella was not going to be a dominant center at 6'7". Him and Rodrick were about the same height when they played at the McDonalds' Game.

I thought Stackhouse and Wallace were the class of '93 being that they were freshmen on the 1993-94 UNC team.

3 of them...former Pistons?
stackhouse was the man at kinston. i thought for sure him and chuck jones both would be in the nba one day..
damn stack average 30 point as a junior thats crazy!
'Sheed is the only guy that found a way to get kicked out of the McDonald's All American game. A game in which dunking is mandatory.
Sheed Stack and Kidd are nasty
Jerry Stack!!
Shit, they cut out Rashard Griffth. He and Thomas Hamilton made the most frightening frontline ever in high school hoops. Chicago.
Facts 🏀🏀💯
@KTF0 what did he do to get kicked out??....chuck a tantrum at the refs like when he went to the nba?? :)
SHHHHHHEEEEEEED! is the best on the list....
That's an accurate discription of how he looks.
lol jkidd was a highflyer thats sick
And they still didn't win the state that year.But he was probably one of the greatest players prepwise in the last 15-20 years.
@teamnevergraduate yea hes 6'4 man big guard
Vandale was the truth. Lawrence County, Mississippi. He was just dumb to go to MS State. He battled Ronnie Henderson, Jesse Pate, and Othello Harrington all through highs school. He was teammates with Erick Dampier.
wow i have never seen jkidd dunk like that
serge zwikker cameo!!
hey that vandale thomas is going blow up big. just watch. that kidd fella on the other hand, i dont know i cant see him succeeding at the next level.
I feel very old.
Shannon DeSelle how you feel now?
othella harrington used to be skinny???
sheed really hit the weights
They got owned by St. Anthony's at the Holiday Tourney back in 1991.
jason kidd can dunk?!
Kidd is a top ten point but Grant was probably a top five small forward. He was well rounded like JKidd but he could score the basket far better than Kidd ever could.
personally where is SERGE ZWIKKER
im playing
jerry stackhouse aint never been 6'6

Arkansas got a little lucky in the UNC 95 Final Four game. But they were a powerhouse for a couple of years.

hmm at this stage sheed didnt start complaining to refs yet lol
@mrcoolcharles And still lost to WEst Charlotte in the state finals!.
he was about to show rashard griffith but the video went off. he played at king h.s. in chicago.they were the no.1 team in america that following year. but he wasn't shit at wisconson, mike finley was the man.
SMH
he was fine at Wisconsin. He just left before he was ready
AO played with rasheed in hs.. fyi ppl
rasheed wallace kicks danny manning ass big time!!!
None of these guys were as good as Grant Hill. I guess he's not in this because at the time he was already at Duke.
Jason Kidd was
Too bad these guys turned out to be bums....just kidding! These guys could ball
Grant Hill wasn't even in the top ten when he came out of Duke.Good, but not the elite.
Huh? He was the 3rd pick in the draft when he came out of college. What are you talking about?
@@toppdogg2815 I actually meant when he entered college at Duke.
A top 20 player, not top 10
@@Belburg he was top 10 in his high school class
You give Serge Zwikker no love?!? Just kidding, that guy sucked.
