I say Sam Jefferson. Wasn't he a Mickey D's AA? I just don't think Tucker was there long enough. He, like Milton Bell, just wasn't there long enough for me to make a fair assessment.

I think Dwayne Bryant and SoCal were underrated, but I'm biased. Jaren too.

Do you mean under/over rated when they came in, or over/under rated now (which I think is more interesting)?

I was there and remember how excited everyone was after getting him. I don't remember how high he was ranked, but I think he was a Top 15. Then, he had a horrible freshman year, had some other issues and left. IMO, that qualifies him as overrated. |

Boubacar Aw and Ya Ya Dia were underrated in my opinion. By their senior years these guys were pretty effective.
Victor Shomnick might be another.

I thought it was players only. If not, he-who wins the overrated hands down.

Yes, but not a highly overrated or underrated one. |

but did he come in with a bunch of hype? I don't think so. He can't be overrated if he was not that highly thought of to begin with or not put on a pedestal so to speak. IMO

But he was put on a pedestal as a coach by the Administration giving him the reins.
Anyway, I have my "over/under" players above, plus an "over" coach.

Yes, but not a highly overrated or underrated one. Did someone keep track of those back then? I'm young for that one. |

Grady Mateen, Charles Harrison, Michael Tate-Venson, are my OVERRATED
Jaren Jackson, Bobby Winston, George Butler are underrated. Seeing how good that '95 team would've been if Butler could've stayed eligible with Iverson that year--frustrating. He could do so many things offensively and was effecient. Single handedly carried team against Illinois in '94 NCAA's to a victory after 2 year absence from tournament.
Bobby Winston just knew how to play--and did dirty work/little things off bench that win games. His alert steal against Providence in '89 game summed him up.
I admit to forgetting how talented of an offensive player Jaren Jackson was--he showed glimpses of what would later happen in San Antonio for him--could shoot/score and do so in variety of ways. I just wish I could've seen his explosions against Seton Hall-but he showed glimpses of that and always was aggressive/ready to shoot even though minutes were split up pretty evenly amongst Smitty, Winston, Bryant, Tillmon, etc...-but he was always aggressive/ready to play--and I like that in that group.

He backdoored his way into the head coaching job. Nobody said he'd be John Wooden. Now, I think is wasn't good coach, but still.
