All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
What would your Blue and White teams be?
Blue rated 1900-1999
White rated 2000-2022+
And which do you think would win?
Here's my starting 5 for each group, with the allowable 13 scholarship players.
Blue - Coach Ladell Anderson with assistant Dale Brown (I think my Blue Squad is better)
PG - Cornell Green
SG - Shalor Halimon
SF - Wayne Estes
PF - Greg Grant
C - Marv Roberts
Bench - 6th man - Nate Williams
Dean Hunger
Eric Franson
Brian Jackson
Kevin Nixon
Reid Newey
Kendall Youngblood
Marcus Saxon
White - Coach Stew Morrill with assistant Randy Rahe
PG - Mark Brown
SG - Jaycee Carroll
SF - Sam Merrill
PF - Tai Wesley
C - Neemies Queta
Bench - 6th man - Desmond Penigar
Gary Wilkinson
Tony Brown
Spencer Nelson
Nate Harris
Shawn Daniels
Bernard Rock
Jared Quayle
Players not mentioned are potentially worthy mentions who were selected to any all-conference teams. I believe these are the best teams you could put together to date. Best Aggie of all time, no questions asked Wayne Estes. I haven't decided on my choice for favorite offense and defensive player.
Spectrum crowds I would choose from the 2008-2011 crowds who invoked unforgettable advantages and intimidating loudness. Thank you Fafner and Wild Bill for those cherished memories.
I have attended many athletic events in my time, from professional and college sports. I think the 2 most fun venues in sports are the Spectrum and Wrigley Field. I was not very impressed with Yankee stadium, and the Delta Center in the finals was rockin' in 98'.
The loudest game I have been to in my lifetime was USU v Nevada 2009. Including dozens and dozens of other college and professional sports venues.

Re: All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
I pretty much agree with the list with one exception. On the 1900-1999 team, I’m having Mike Santos at center. Not sure who I displace from the starting 5, but thinking I move Marv to the 4 over Grant. That’s hard for me to say as Greg is my all-time favorite Aggie and his 8-0 against BYU says everything.

All I'm saying is I gotta have Jared Quayle on my all time team. Right now I'm watching him play in a basketball tournament with his high school class and he can't be stopped. He's around 37 years old now and still the most athletic guy on the court

Penigar was a lot better than Wesley. I’d start him for sure. I like the rosters you picked. Assuming you adjust for eras etc then I’d pick the 1900-99 team to win.

Re: All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
I think most of us suffer from short-sightedness in not remembering a couple of the players who suited up in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. While Estes was an early to mid-1960’s player he is to Aggie basketball what Merlin Olsen was to Aggie football — a god. So he will alays be remembered. But what of Bert Cook (1950’s) and Max Perry (early 1960’s)? Most likely none of us saw them play and most of us know nothing about them.
Cook was one of the few Aggies ever drafted by the NBA. Both received national all-American honors. And while they both played only two years at USU both are in the top 30 USU scorers of all time. Perry was one of the stars of the team (along with Cornell Green) the last time the Aggies won an NIT game in 1960. Statistics like steals, TOs, assists, etc., were not tracked back in the day like they are now so it’s difficult to compare them to today’s players.
Regardless, I don’t believe I’d change a thing about the players selected in the OP with the exception of replacing Reid Newey with one of my all-time favorites, Mike Santos. I’d probably choose Rich Haws over Newey, too. Nice job!
BTW, was Cornell Green (at 6’4”) a point guard? Max Perry had those duties on their early 1960’s team.

I became an Aggie fan around the year 2000. So I don't know any of the old-timers. That said, my all 21st-century team (I'm going off of pure talent) would be:

PG - Merrill
SG - Carroll
SF - Moore
PF - Wesley
C - Queta
2nd:
PG - T. Brown
SG - Butterfield
SF - Nelson
PF - Bean
C - Wilkenson

Re: All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
Cornell Green - 2 time All American, drafted by the NBA in the 5th round
Marv Roberts - Honorable Mention All American, drafted by the NBA in the 3rd round
Shaler Halimon - Drafted by the NBA in the 1st round
Nate Williams - All American as a sophomore, drafted 1st in the NBA hardship draft which was for underclassmen
Wayne Estes - Nothing to be said
There haven't been 5 better Aggie basketball players ever and no other group of 5 would have beaten them in their prime. I'd put Halimon at PG on that team.

You need an education an Aggie basketball. Rock, Daniels, and Butler were all-conference and scored in double figures. If you want to knock Peterson you could, but Green didn’t even start.Buttefield, while a good player, played on some real bad teams and was injured for a lot of his career. Jardine was a bench player and was not as good as Chaz Spicer.

Glad I missed playing in that tourney this year. I think they finally moved his team up to their age range. They made them play in the younger class well past when they normally do solely because Jared kicked everyone’s butt so bad.

No I am a Wight. What year do you normally play with?

I agree that Penigar is a better 1 on 1 player than Wesley, i think the way Stew ran his teams through the high post with a good passing 4 great on defense and rebounding I think if you want to start Desmond he would displace Merrill to the 1 spot and maybe Mark Brown is the 6th man.Intermeddler wrote:Penigar was a lot better than Wesley.

I would love to start Nate Williams, the years he played Marv Roberts scored the most points. They were all great.

Some good stuff with the b ball teams. I would make a few changes, but most Aggies should agree with you.LoveMyAggies wrote: ↑March 19th, 2022, 3:16 amWhat would your Blue and White teams be?
Blue rated 1900-1999
White rated 2000-2022+
And which do you think would win?
Here's my starting 5 for each group, with the allowable 13 scholarship players.
Blue - Coach Ladell Anderson with assistant Dale Brown (I think my Blue Squad is better)
PG - Cornell Green
SG - Shalor Halimon
SF - Wayne Estes
PF - Greg Grant
C - Marv Roberts
Bench - 6th man - Nate Williams
Dean Hunger
Eric Franson
Brian Jackson
Kevin Nixon
Reid Newey
Kendall Youngblood
Marcus Saxon
White - Coach Stew Morrill with assistant Randy Rahe
PG - Mark Brown
SG - Jaycee Carroll
SF - Sam Merrill
PF - Tai Wesley
C - Neemies Queta
Bench - 6th man - Desmond Penigar
Gary Wilkinson
Tony Brown
Spencer Nelson
Nate Harris
Shawn Daniels
Bernard Rock
Jared Quayle
Players not mentioned are potentially worthy mentions who were selected to any all-conference teams. I believe these are the best teams you could put together to date. Best Aggie of all time, no questions asked Wayne Estes. I haven't decided on my choice for favorite offense and defensive player.
Spectrum crowds I would choose from the 2008-2011 crowds who invoked unforgettable advantages and intimidating loudness. Thank you Fafner and Wild Bill for those cherished memories.
I have attended many athletic events in my time, from professional and college sports. I think the 2 most fun venues in sports are the Spectrum and Wrigley Field. I was not very impressed with Yankee stadium, and the Delta Center in the finals was rockin' in 98'.
The loudest game I have been to in my lifetime was USU v Nevada 2009. Including dozens and dozens of other college and professional sports venues.
I have been to several baseball venues. The Cardinals Current Busch Stadium is far better than other parks. Ther is a reason why they say the following right before they start the game…”LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…WELCOME TO BASEBALL HEAVEN!” Those fans are great, and very knowledgeable. I like Seattle, San Francisco and Pittsburg too.been to the following and don’t like them as well
Dodgers, Angles, KC, Yankees, San Diego, Coors Field, Texas.

There haven't been 5 better Aggie basketball players ever and no other group of 5 would have beaten them in their prime. I'd put Halimon at PG on that team.
I would love to start Nate Williams, the years he played Marv Roberts scored the most points. They were all great.

Spencer Nelson and Nate Harris were both better than Tai Wesley.

Glad I missed playing in that tourney this year. I think they finally moved his team up to their age range. They made them play in the younger class well past when they normally do solely because Jared kicked everyone’s butt so bad.

It's funny, USU PR, created this graphic, using my all-time starting 5 (minus Funk of course). Bean is on there to, but he'd be the first guy off my bench. It shows you how the school feels about this.

Re: All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
I agree by the way .. one on one Spencer Nate and Penigar were more talented than Tai Wesley.
If you look at Tai’s graduating class and go watch his games, when he was playing his best .. like 95% of the time his teams won. He elevated everyone around him. Since 2000 if I were picking a player to take first against a head to head match-up the only player debatable who also made everyone else better over the process of the year was Sam Merrill.
Sam was the most clutch player since 2000.
I think if you put Tai with Queta, Penigar, Carroll and Jalen Moore
Against say
mark Brown Sam Merrill spencer nelson Nate Harris and (you pick Jared Quayle or Tony Brown)
I think Tai Wesley’s group wins because he had the It factor to elevate his team mates.
Swap him with say Nate Harris and keep the rest of the teams the same its still debatable who wins, Sam Merrill probably takes the cake with a clutch 3 at the end.
Sam Merrill knew how to and when to take games over. Probably best all around since 2000.
Tai was probably the best overall winner, .. there were bench players I vividly remember playing better off the crowd and the crowd was energized by plays Tai was involved in, both defensively and offensively. In the spectrum it felt like our team was ahead 15-0 at the start of every game with the group Tai Graduated with. Watch the games and you’ll see what I mean.
A ton of credit goes to Stew for seeing the potential in all of the guys he brought in. Developing them and turning the spectrum into a mental challenge for the opposing teams.
A lot of people are still hurting over the final months and decision Smith made to leave USU for Utah. Smith wasnt the best recruiter but he definitely was developing players to play 2-3 levels above where they started when he arrived. I think he didnt get enough credit with how he developed Brito Bean Queta and Sam(even abel porter). He seemed to get more overall effort out of role players and bench players who were fine with not being Sam or Queta.
Sorry for the rant, just some random thoughts.

Re: All-time teams 1900-1999 vs. 2000-2022+
Tai had all of the footwork and post moves that Nate and Spencer had but the dude was an absolute bulldog! If you needed a bucket or a key rebound, he would get it. The second Stew decided to start him as a freshman, he completely changed the trajectory of the team. If he was 3 inches taller he'd been drafted.LoveMyAggies wrote: ↑March 31st, 2022, 11:41 pmI agree by the way .. one on one Spencer Nate and Penigar were more talented than Tai Wesley.
