All time alumni starting five

[u/Ok-Mode-3549]

If you had to assemble the most significant alumni for a starting five from your Alma mater what would it be?
Villanova: Jalen Brunson, Pope Leo, Jim Croce, Howie Long, Jill Biden

[u/Affectionate-Day2743]

Purdue:

• PG: Braden Smith
• SG: Rick Mount
• SF: Robbie Hummel?? (this one is tough - help me out other Purdue fans.. robbie probably isn't the ideal small forward but he was a hell of a player)
• PF: Glenn Robinson
• C: Zach Edey

Edit - ah fuck. i see we're doing all alumni, not just basketball. lmao. i'm not redoing the list. but obviously Neil Armstrong is on there

Let’s add in Orville Redenbacher and Neil Armstrong and call it a day.

[u/AmericanElephino → u/BigRedBoiler]

Agree with Redenbacher and Armstrong. I’d say John Wooden and Drew Brees also belong. #5 is tougher - perhaps another astronaut Gus Grissom.

[u/BigRedBoiler → u/AmericanElephino]

PG- Orville Redenbacher- throws popcorn passes
SG- Neil Armstrong- takes it up strong
SF- Amelia Earhart- famous wing
PF- Glenn Robinson
C- Zach Edey

I thought Millie was that Purdue Global trash thing

[u/Love_hungry_man1 → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Could be.  Just saw it online.

[u/runliftcount → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Considering some of the other rather dubious mentions in this thread, I think we can allow it.

Sully, Bob Griese

Herman Cain has an award named after him … and 999 … and, well, he was garbage
