Where does Greg Brunner rank all-time?

Young guys don't know about Stokes, etc .

Loved watching him and Payne (guessing spelling is wrong) on the court at the same time.

If brunner is in your top 5...then you don't appreciate history..so is Nathan Chandler in your top 5 QBs too....???

Lol are you comparing the 14th all time leading scorer with a QB that started 1 year?

No just saying you need to appreciate history...not just your living history of sports

Ronnie
BJ
J Johnson
Marble Sr.
DownTown Freddie Brown
Gamble

After this is all gets a little jumbled for me.......

This is a good list although you go beyond me a little bit. I do believe the list starts with Lester - Iowa just didn't lose when he played. I even recall Lute saying after he won the NCAAs at AZ (I live in Tucson) that he thought the Iowa team in 1980 was going to win it all if it weren't for the Lester injury.

BJ and Marble deserve it, too. I'd throw Stokes in there. Gamble is the wildcard. So good and so clutch, but the numbers never quite caught his value.

Brunner is one of those guys on the next tier. He got so much better in his career and it was fun to watch. He's a James Winters under sized type of guy who could will Iowa to a win.

Vince Brookins is a guy who I always thought could make this list, but he never had the consistency. I loved Carfino when he was on and Horton could control a game as well. But again, consistency.

Street is another wildcard. Fabulous player with a career that was cut short. What could have been ... we'll never know.

Woolridge, settles, Hansen, White, and Huluska..great players, no doubt, but the next layer down.

Bohannon if he keeps it up with the clutch shots will be in the top ten. He's a Gamble sort of player in that his stat line, while good, was not dominant, but the plays he made killed you.

Part of what makes players legendary is those memorable moments (which Brunner didn’t have a lot of). This is why JBo will be remembered fondly for many years to come.

It wasn’t the AHA moments in his Hawkeye career that I remember so much. It was his lunch bucket mentality that stood out to me. He went to work when he played and showed that if you want the rebound bad enough you can get it. I wish his work ethic were present in 2 or 3 players each year.

Tough he Was.
