https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket...ayers-1-68
6. Andy Kennedy, UAB Blazers -- Kennedy started his collegiate career playing for Jim Valvano at NC State in 1986-87 -- his freshman season is chronicled in the notorious book Personal Fouls -- before he transferred to UAB and became one of the Blazers' all-time greats. Kennedy scored 1,787 points -- second most in school history -- in just three seasons (1988-91) and also holds the school records for career 3-pointers made (318) and attempted (728), 3-point field goal percentage (.437), free throw percentage (.872) and highest single-season scoring average (21.8 PPG in 1990-91). Kennedy was a two-time All-Sun Belt pick before going on to play professionally in Greece, the Netherlands, Spain and Puerto Rico.

That's a pretty interesting article, actually. It's amazing how many D-III and NAIA players (and even guys who barely played in high school) who are leading D-I teams now the tournament.
AK is much more than the exception than the rule.
