Chester Frazier. God damn, that’s funny. Funny how the worst 3 year starter in school history has become a folk hero. Chester was the embodiment of what was wrong with the program during his era, not a “diamond in the rough.” Not Chester’s fault, he just didn’t belong at this level. It took him 4 years (and way too many minutes of valuable PT) to become a useful player.

He should have had 3 to 5 minutes less PT per game?

I remember his junior year, when Purdue elected not to guard him, and it was a good strategy as Purdue won the game by about 10

I have no idea why we would have trouble recruiting to the middle of a corn field.

"We did not guard Chester Frazier and Calvin Brock in there," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "We tried to bait them into scoring. We weren't going to let the ball go inside. If they could have made a couple of those shots, we would have been stuck."

They didn't. Frazier shot 1 of 7 and appeared indecisive at times when the Boilermakers left him alone on the perimeter. Brock finished 0 for 4.

His junior year, Chester was 7th in the Big Ten in minutes played, and 6th on his team in scoring at 4.9 ppg.

Lots of UI fans singled out those guys in high school.

Maybe Josh should try crowdsourcing.

The truly sad part is that crowdsourcing would undoubtedly be better than whatever it is he is doing.

I'm gonna have to think on this awhile, but I'm coming up blank.  There's got to be somebody worse, right?

Jaylon Tate? Idk if he started for three years but it seemed like it. Can’t believe he is in the G League.

Tracy Abrams? He was here for like 10 years and started all of them because we didn’t have anyone else for those 10 years. Scared off all the competition 😂
