Bill Russell: University of San Francisco. Scottie Pippen: Central Arkansas. Those just popped into my head. I looked up Willis Reed on a whim (don't know why I thought of him): Grambling State. It might be interesting to look up all the Hall of Famers some day. Not today though.
Way to go back a half-century! The way they scout today all of those guys would have played at Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, etc.
Bullshit. That's just random conjecture. People actually IMPROVE in college you know, scouts can't predict the future.
Pretty much true. Russell stayed home. Pippen was a late bloomer. Wilt was such a phenom in his day, everyone wanted him and he ended up in the best program in the country.
