That's really hard. Edmond only has a limited look, but that potential was awesome. Lenny Brown has more years to show.....Wow.....I think I have to pick Lenny Brown based on his career numbers and THE SHOT.

My dad was friends with Art Morthorst. I know it's tough to vote against Lenny Brown, but Art hit the winning shot in the 1950 Crosstown Shootout, and was part of the first Xavier team to make the post-season. He's in the Xavier HOF as well.

He used to go to every game, and sat in the very last row of the upper deck at center court - called them "the best seats in the house."

You're right. I was using the media guide from the beginning of the season and it didn't have the number change.

Morthorst is not listed on the XU HOF website. I wonder if that's an omission? It appears it may be as Nick Hagglund nor Justin Doellman are not listed either.

That's odd. I googled and found in his obit that he was inducted in 1970. It looks like it only goes back to 1981 on the Xavier website.
