Also, Ron Mercer and Oliver Simmons played for Kentucky. Mercer played for two years before entering the NBA draft, where he was a lottery pick. Simmons later transferred to Florida State.

 

The Arkansas team that won the 94 natiional title had several players from Memphis - Corey Beck and Dwight Stewart, and I think there were a couple of others.

Todd Day

[smalltown]

Todd Day was from Memphis and played at Arkansas, but he wasn't on the team that won the national title in 94.

 

Corey Brewer could be on this list. He would be a senior but left a year early for the NBA.

Mercer was in the NBA when I started making the lists and Oliver was playing for Fla St. at the time.

Some other interesting facts; The cities with the most players playing D-I basketball are Memphis (48), Nashville (19), Jackson (6), and Knoxville (5). The overall regional breakdown is: West Tennessee (69 players), MIddle Tennessee (48 players), East Tennessee (19). The high schools with the most players playing D-I are: White Station (7 players), Hamilton (5 players), Ridgeway (5 players), Liberty Tech (4 players). In the 11 years I have compiled these lists, these are the major conference teams that have never had a Tennessee players on it's roster: ACC (Maryland, Miami) A-10 (Rhode Island, Saint Joseph's, Fordham, Saint Louis, Temple, Duquesne, La Salle, St. Bonaventure), Big 10 (Michigan State, Ohio St., Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota, Michigan, Penn St., Northwestern), Big 12 (Kansas, Texas, Tex A&M, Missouri, Baylor, Okla, Okla St., Nebraska, TX Tech, Iowa St.) Big East (Marquette, Syracuse, UCONN, Providence, Villanova, Notre Dame, DePaul, Rutgers), C-USA (all teams have had players from Tennessee on roster at some point; 8 current) Pac-10 (UCLA, Oregon, Wash St, Stanford, Wash, Cal, Ariz St, Oregon St), SEC (Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas, LSU),

 

Also, I forgot to add Jamie Graham from Whites Creek to the list but did include him in the numbers above. If I forgot anyone on the list, let me know!!

 

Delk who played at Kentucky was from Tennessee as was Ron Mercer.

This is a great list, one update is Jason Smiley is not at Tennessee Tech anymore. I believe he is in Pikeville (ky). Thanks for doing this. It definitely takes time.
