According to sporcle.com, only 10 schools have had an athlete selected #1 in both the NFL and NBA drafts: UCLA, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio St. North Carolina St, Michigan, Utah, Michigan St, Notre Dame...........and YOUR LSU TIGERS!!! :helmet::bball:
Hmm, ok without cheating... UCLA I have no idea Oklahoma Sam Bradford and Blake Griffin Ohio State Greg Oden and ? NC State I have no idea Michigan I have no idea Utah Alex Smith and ? surely not Van Horne Michigan State Magic and ? Notre Dame? LSU Shaq and Jamarcus
Wasn't Ben McDonald a #1 pick in MLB? If so, how many schools have #1 picks in all three major sports?
UCLA Jabbar, Walton, Troy Aikman NC State David Thompson and the defensive lineman that was drafted by the Texans, Williams??? Notre Dame Paul Horning and no idea in basketball
Wasn't Billy Cannon also a #1 pick in the NFL? UCLA would be Troy Aikman and either/both Kareem and Walton.
Ky- Jarred Lorenzen, tim couch kyle macy, jamal mashburn, sam bowie, john wall pretty sure i got the 2 in there somewhere.
I would think Webber was #1 in the NBA for Michigan. Syracuse should be there too. Derrick Coleman was #1 in basketball, Ernie Davis in football.
bogut went #1? holy crap. i guess i forgot that. what about uconns rebecca lobo first in the wnba draft and won ky derby by 6 lengths in the same year.
Billy Cannon was picked #1 in the 1960 NFL draft. Ben Mcdonald was picked #1 in the 1989 MLB draft as well. So we have a #1 pick in three major sports.
