Murray “the Mule” Brown played for FSU in the late 70 along side Metro coPOY Harry Davis.

Vernell "Bimbo" Coles, point guard, Virginia Tech.

Tom "The Braintree Butcher" Studis

He was our designated muscle back in the early/mid 70s and usually had a way with a hot shooting forward.

That’s a heck of a nickname.

7’1” Wayne “Tree” Rollins. Clemson Center

Well, Air Jordan has to be one of the most apropos nicknames of all time.

Anybody else feel like “Psycho T” gave himself that nickname?

1. Tree Rollins - Clemson
2. Dirty Dan Wells - NC State - Enforcment Forward back when league play was rough in the late 60's
3. The Newland Needle - Tommy Burleson - NC State - 7-2 center
4. Charles Linwood "Buck" Williams - MD - late 70's
5. Mugsey Bouges - Guard WF
6. Spud Webb - Guard NC State
7. Clyde the Glide Austin Guard NC State - late 70's

Pearl Washington and Fab Melo.

Unfortunately, they both died well before their time.




BTW: I didnt know Tree Rollins went to Clemson

“Tree” is a great name for a center.

Tyler “Hans-travel” is the actual nickname.

LSU possibly has the 2 best nicknames:

“Pistol” Pete
Glenn “big baby” Davis
