Sorry Derrick (and SF Terps), but this one is easy. Trevon all the way!

I went Brown.

I loved Derrick Brown but gotta go with 2,000 points!

Two of my all-time favorites (Brown and Blueitt), but had to go with Trevon. I must be slipping in my old age because I totally forgot about Brown's NBA career.

Brown actually had some solid numbers, especially in his final year. Kind of makes you wonder why some guys stick around and other don't.

I thought long and hard about Mark "Three" Poynter, but I think Trevon should win this going away

Wow, can't believe this is this close.

Brown was really good (for 2 years at least) and obviously crazy talented as he played in NBA but as a college player Tre was on a completely different level.

I would think that a St. X grad would vote for Richard Berning.

Think I overlooked that because I knew I wanted to vote for Tre!

That was my grandpa's best friend.

Good vote '87!
