Longest Careers?

Jimmy Dugan · 03-02-2008, 11:06 PM

Which college athletes do you think it seems like had the longest career ever?

I must say Ron Slay was a vol. for a good 10 years.

This is an interesting thread, I'm always saying "man it seems like so and so has been there forever" Smile

He's not a current player but it seemed like Renaldo Balkman played for a lot more than four years at South Carolina.

He's another one, lol. I guess that's a good thing, atleast Duke's players for the most part go to college for the right reasons.

Jason White at Oklahoma, of course he did get atleast 1 and maybe 2 medical redshirts which would explain most of it.

J.J Redick played at Duke when UK won it's 1st national title.

**vundy33** · 03-03-2008, 11:18 AM

Drew Neitzel(sp?) from Michigan St....seems like he was on the team when we played them at Ford Field and then in the Elite 8 in 04'. When I seen he was on the team at the first of this season I was like "what the ****"...he has been on the team forever.

**PHS95** · 03-03-2008, 08:22 PM

Heavens at all of the Duke hate.... mostly because most of them stay a full four years, I'm sure LOL

Jimmy Dugan · 03-03-2008, 09:56 PM

Shane Battier was at Duke forever as well.... Does anyone remember the Stokes guy from mizzou that had long hair? seemed like he started for them as a 7th grader.

Haha, I thought JJ Reddick was at Duke for a long time. Seemed like he had like 5 freshman seasons. Another, I swear I have heard Brandon Rush's name like 7 years ago. Seems like he's been there forever at Kansas as well.

Jimmy Dugan · 03-05-2008, 01:07 AM

JJ Redicks college career was longer than Michael Jordans pro career.

**Redneck** · 03-05-2008, 01:11 AM

Seemed like Jimel Martinez was at UK forever.

Jimmy Dugan · 03-05-2008, 01:13 AM

Tayshaun Prince seemed like he had a nice and long career as well.

Cat_Fan63 · 03-05-2008, 01:17 AM

You may be thinking of Brandon's brother Kareem Rush who also played in the Big 12 a year or 2 before Brandon entered. Kareem played for Missouri before leaving school early to enter the draft.
