Def has the total skills and mindset when compared with BR, Wright, Sibert and CJ. Is he my favorite? No. Is he skilled? Hell yes!

BRob is and always has been our best NBA prospect(since the Donoher years) because he had all the skills needed to be a great PG. And when comparing the two, BRob was a star coming out of college and had a much more consistent career(until the injuries and viruses hit all his teammates in his senior season). He was head and shoulders the best player on the team. I think he was probably the closest thing we had to an All American in almost 30 years.

	Don Donoher DON DONOHER Legendary Flyer men's basketball coach who guided Dayton to 435 victories in 25 seasons (1964-1989) including the 1967 NCAA Runner-Up. Took over the program after the passing of Tom Blackburn and earned many NCAA and NIT bids over his career, including five Sweet-16s, one Elite Eight appearance, and the 1968 NIT Championship. Groomed All-Americans Don May and Jim Paxson, along with all-time leading scorer Roosevelt Chapman. Coached UD as they joined conference affiliation for the first time (Midwest Collegiate). A graduate of UD, Donoher played for Blackburn and credits much of his coaching success to his mentor's teachings: defense, ball protection, patience, and unselfishness.
