Christian Laettner (Duke, 1988-1992)

When it comes to college basketball, you are not going to find a more divisive player than this guy. Even though he has a lot of players, we are sure that his haters would also love it if he played for their college and not Duke. Some would even call him the greatest Blue Devil in history! He led the team to the Final Four during his tenure at the Ivy League university, which was a record in itself. In 1991 and 1992, the Blue Devils even won back-to-back championships. In the latter season, he was given the title of the consensus National Collegiate Player. He was chosen for the All-American twice and the All-ACC thrice.

Jerry West (West Virginia, 1957-1960)

If Jerry West wants to know how well he played as a college student, he only needs to look at his most outstanding NCAA Tournament player of the year award! This took place in 1959, although West Virginia did not end up taking home the title. It was one of the two seasons he made it to the All-American team as well. During his college career, Mr. Clutch reached an average of almost 25 points and 13 rebounds per game. He was also able to reach 30 double-double games out of 31 during the season in 1960.
