Here's a player perhaps few are aware of and prolly Lute's first great player : 6'8" center Bruce "Sky" King.
I would listen in a dream-like state to his exploits on the radio as just a lil' SBAH ... a pleasant memory now.

Sir Jamalot had his nickname from before his time at Iowa, possibly even before his time at USC, but that is a great one.
I‘ll nominate The Rolling Ball of Butcher Knives, Richard Bass.

I watched him play at Burlington Junior College pre-Hawkeye days.
The best special teams player we had that was not a kicker, punter, returner.
Before Hansen, Glenn Vidnovic was The Stick on the great 1969-70 basketball team that had its own nickname - the Six Pack.
Another great team nickname is The Fabulous Five for the 1954-55 and 1955-56 men's basketball teams that both made the Final Four.
I met him once, a fine fellow he was. We shook hands and my normal sized hand was engulfed by his gigantic paw...which seemed to be twice the size of mine.
No wonder he could palm the basketball so well.
