Tony Harris stunk? I am by no means a Tony Harris fan but if you tell me that a Mr. Basketball award winner and a McDonald's All-American stunk in high school you are crazy. He wasn't the greatest point guard in college but he wasn't terrible either. And you might wanna read your name before you say that someone stinks, the Cavs haven't been worth a flip since the days of Mark Price, Brad Daughtery, and the great Craig "watch out for MJ's fist" Ehlo.

Elston Turner played in Knoxville (Austin-East I think) and went on to be All-SEC at Ole Miss. Then he played in the NBA for 10 or 12 years. He has to be on the list.

In Knoxville Denton Jones.

Larry Finch was an all american from Melrose.

 

Hardaway, Perry, Todd Day, Ron Mercer, Kirk Haston, Yarbrough, Lorenzeon Wright, Delk, Drew Maddux, David Vaughn.

 

 

Another great player was Johnnie Newman from Overton who later went to Ole Miss and was an All American.

 

I don't know if Trey Pearson is one of the greatest players to come out of TN...He is playing well but guys like Earnest Shelton, Scooter McFadgon, Paris London, Jeremy Hunt, Derrick Byars...and many others contributed their freshman year, started, or scored more points for better teams then Pearson....I do wish Pearson the best though.
