'17 TN PG Tyreke Key (Transferred to Tennessee)

[Bluethunder]

I believe you are right. Tunnel was Mr. Basketball in Kansas.

Menser was runner up I believe to Luke Recker back in the 90s.

Those are the only two I can remember in recent history being mentioned in the Mr. Basketball discussion.

 

[sycamorebacker]

Want to say Jay Tunnell...but I could be wrong

Tunnell is the only one I know of, ever.

 

[Southgrad07]

Looks like he beat out Parker Stewart who is an Ole Miss recruit..So not like there is no D1 talent floating around his level...Key's team is not favored in the state tourney from what i've gathered though.

 

[SycamoreSage]

Jerry Newsom

I am fairly certain that Jerry Newsom was runner-up to Dennis Brady of Lafayette for Indiana's Mr. Basketball in 1964.

Stewart kid is already out they didn't win there district,don't count Clay County out if they get to hitting some threes and the defense goes man will then Tyreke will take over.I think we will win first round then it will get tuff.We already beat one team on other side of bracket by 20 plus points twice.

 

[Huntr1970]

They will be streaming the games next week I will post the link they are not free but it does not cost much.

I think Williams, Pillow and Menser might have been close also.

 

[BlueSycamore]

Want to say Jay Tunnell...but I could be wrong

Tunnell had one memorable game for sure. Lights out.

 

[BlueSycamore]

Think the Sycamores have not had many Indiana All-Stars over the years let alone a Mr. Basketball? Yes, here & there but not recently.

True. When we had Odum, Gant and Kitch, that may have been the only time we've ever had 3 at one time. They have become very sporadic.

There was a really good article written on Tyreke in the local paper I don't have any link to it but it is posted all over his Facebook page if you have a good I phone you can pull it up and read it..

 

[4Q_iu]

I think Williams, Pillow and Menser might have been close also.

We've had 7 Mr BBall R/U as Sycamores:

1992 Steve Hart Terre Haute South Braves -- transferred from iu

1989 Kenny Rowan Northview Knights

1964 Jerry Newsom Columbus Bulldogs

1963 Rich Mason East Chicago Washington Senators -- transferred from northwestern

1957 Howard Dardeen Terre Haute Gerstmeyer Blackcats -- transferred from kentucky

1953 Harley Andrews Terre Haute Gerstmeyer Blackcats -- transferred to louisville, after us army stint (believe he was drafted)

1940 Henry Pearcy Martinsville Artesians

Menser not a runner up to Recker?

They have every roster -- even the retro-actively selected teams for the WW II years...

Mr BBall has an asterisk; the rest are listed by vote -- unless there's a hidden reason, theyre not listed by alpha character (player or name)

I think it may be off. Pretty sure Menser was second.

Thanks -- I'm guessing Neddeentrip can't / won't do the research prior to 1988...

The IBCA should put out a better product.

What's interesting is the rest of the IBCA's rosters (.pdfs) match the rosters printed in an Indianapolis Star 'Indiana All-Star' Yearbook (they printed them for the 50th anniversary of the series in 1989...

have to wonder if the IBCA got lucky OR if the Star began listing the players differently...

 

[SycamoreFan317]

Curious who your source was; I can't think of any Indiana All-Stars that played MBB at Tennessee, much less ones that were inducted into the UT Hall of Fame


Looking forward to T.Key lacing em up for the Trees

Had a guy from Greenfield during my Frosh yr. '69 in Jones Hall (Dennis Andrews) that talked about him ...

During the Summer IN-KY Game, we drove to L-ville's packed Freedom Hall to watch HS All-stars, IN squad led by George McGinnis. Man have things changed...
