Who would have been the face of the program?

Without doubt Derek Fisher is the face of Little Rock Trojans basketball. He is by far the best-known player to have played here and has given us a good bit of national publicity just by his connection with the school. We love Fish in Little Rock.

However, if Fish had only had modest success in the NBA and his career there had been short-lived for whatever reason, one wonders who might have been our most identifiable player. Larry Johnson dominates the record book for post players. James Scott is our all-time leading scorer. Myron Jackson was the top scorer on the team that beat Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. Vaughn Williams was one of the great guards in UALR history and hold the career records in both steals and assists. And, Fisher himself had a wonderful career at Little Rock, even apart from his professional efforts. In short, there are a lot of candidates for the "Mr. Trojan Award" had Fish not had a headliner NBA career. So, it makes an interesting question about which to speculate.
