PplOne player that was omitted that most definitely should have been included was Bobby Slusher of Lone Jack. Slusher was a scoring machine, scoring as many as 80 in some games. He led Lone Jack to at least one, maybe two Sweet 16s in the very early 60s. He played for Adolf Rupp at UK before being kicked out of school for bad behavior. Slusher transferred to Cincinnati before ending his career at Cumberland College. Old timers that actually saw Slusher play said he was the best pure talent ever in the 13th region. Also, Jerry Bird from Corbin must have been pretty good to star at UK and play 11 years for the Knicks in the NBA. Did the selection committee include anyone over 70 years old that would have known about these old timers? The list seems to be weighted heavily with players from the last 40 years.
