Larry Davis disrespected once again.
Dalembert was so athletic and quick. I loved watching him run down smaller opposing players on fast breaks and blocking them from behind. He was also one of the nicest guys you could meet.
1) Anthony Avent - 17.8 its and 9.9 reb hitting 75% FT and Final 8 and Championship Game.
2) Angel Delgado - 15.2 and 13 Reb a game. Would probably go to 1 if he stays another year.
3) Herb Pope - two years at the Hall averaged double doubles
4) Ramon Ramos - 11.9 its and 7.6 Reb senior year.
5) Sam Dalembert - 8.3 pts, 5.7 Reb and 2 blocks a game
6) Gene Teague - averaged 11 pts and 7 reb for 2 years
7) Luther Wright - 9 pts and 7.5 reb last year at school.

That Avent guy seemed pretty good.
Is sammy d in jail? As a sixers fan i always rooted for the guy.

I understand that Mark Bryant was a power forward. He carved out an admirable NBA career at that position. I just looked at a roster from 1987-88 and no center was listed, only forwards. MB had to play the post a lot by default in those days. I lucked into sixth row seats at the Big East Tournament that year or the year before (my memory is getting worse). What I do remember intensely is having that close a view of MB mixing it up with Patrick Ewing. Georgetown won, but Ewing was happy to get out of there in one piece.
For that reason alone, I think he needs honorable mention.
Like I said, I might have been off on the year. Regardless, we had a lot of great PF's in that era and no true centers. Avent became a PF in the NBA, and Ramos was on that trajectory before his tragedy.
Luther certainly had the best NBA body. But, his skills and mind were not up to that standard. You can't be 7'2" and miss the amount of dunks that he missed during his career. The guy had a soft touch but he should have been dominant and used a drop step dunk move instead of going weak to the basket. He infuriated me when he played. The guy was built of steel and played so soft. This is why he is at the bottom of my list.
Anthony Avent had a lot to do with our being so good during his days in the old Big East. I'll go with that. Ramos a close second because he was great in a great Big East and a shame he banged his head during the NCAA'S. Bad luck followed this poor guy.
Another tough one. Sammy was an absolute beast as a shot blocker....but had little to no offensive game. Avent was a very good player.....Ramos, well you have to love the heart of a lion that he had.....similar to my ultimate choice....Delgado. Now come back Angel and prove me right!

What many people forget is that Glenn Mosley also played center particularly in the 73-74 season but is never thought of as a center. On that team there was a fan favorite who came off the bench to play center in Mike Buescher.

I don't remember that but I know he played in what was the top professional minor league in Basketball at the time , the Eastern Basketball Association where former Knick Mike Riordan started out in.
