Dan Issel (Kentucky, 1968-1970)
Just like Danny Manning, Dan Issel also made history as the greatest player in a great college basketball program. Also known as the Horse, he spent three seasons playing for Kentucky and was a two-time All-American pick. He went on to be the leading scorer and rebounder that the program has ever seen. On top of that, he is one of the most talented all-around players in the history of the university. In 1970, he had a scoring average of 33.9 points per game. This remains the best single-season mark of any Wildcat!
