Kevin Nash college statistics

[WalkGawd]

He obviously wasn’t an NBA prospect but 7ppg and 5rpg in 20 minutes at an SEC school isn’t bad at all

Right. Being recruited by a D1 school and putting any amount of points is an indicator of talent. Hell, being recruited to ANY college is an indicator of talent lol. You'd be surprised at some Community College people that will put up crazy buckets in a pickup game at LA Fitness.

That's why it will always be funny when Oklahoma(minus mocking CP) was touting Juvi was a linebacker at Tijuana State! JR went overboard with where people went to college and what they did. If they were so good they'd have done that instead of being in wrestling. It's not like everyone was Kurt Angle

Usually, Ross (or more likely his color man, Ventura or whomever) would follow it up by justifying it - even if it's kayfabe, saying that a dude was a top athlete, but knew that the real money was in pro wrestling, or a dude was a top athlete, but he was too violent for the confines of most sports and had to gravitate to wrestling where he could use his elite athleticism to beat people up for a living would put them over big.

You tell me that '88 Ron Simmons was an elite LB in college, but he was too violent for the NFL, and I'm going to a) believe it and b) believe in him when you push him. That's IMO.

Wonder what Mean Mark's stats looked like, since he was by all accounts a good to great athlete.

I should compile some of these and start a "wrestlers who were college/pro athletes" thread. I was wondering about Paul Orndorff's college football career after he passed the other day. He was apparently pretty beastly at FB.

This is a great thread, actually. I've never seen clips of that specific Nash shoot.

Better than Big Show's college stats. 37% FG% at over 7 feet tall?!

The CC stuff isnt a surprise. Some of the best ballers there or not even enrolled playing pickup are better than D2 and D3 players. It's not their talent that stopped them from playing ncaa ball
