Eric Montross- Lawrence North
Sean May- Bloomington North
Tyler Zeller- Washington
Angel Garcia- East Chicago Central
Rick Fox- Warsaw
Shawn Kemp- committed to UK then went to JC in TX but never played a college game.
John Stewart- Lawrence North- May he rest in peace.

This is just several of many that could have helped IU win more championships.

Can anybody name more big men that left the state?

I did not remember Nelson playing for Iowa. I believe my HS team was playing in Indy (Butler Fieldhouse) for the state championship when on that same weekend OSU lost to Cincinati. It may have been Lucas's last year JerryCT...you would remember this. MillPort:

OSU had Lucas, Havlicek and Knight. Purdue had Terry Dischinger. Iowa had Don Nelson. I am sure there were others. Bellamy more than held his own against some of the greats. Only one team went to the NCAA. Unfortunately for OSU there was a school in Cincinnati that ruined their chances for three in a row. Bellamy deserves his place on this list.
