Another Colossus in the Little Rock program was Vaughn Williams. Again, probably few of us got to see him play, since his career was 1979-83, but his numbers say he was one of the best guards we have had.
CAREER POINTS SCORED - 10TH
CAREER FG MADE - 6TH
CAREER ASSISTS - 1ST
CAREER STEALS - 1ST
In two of the categories that define the point guard position (assists and steals), he is by far the career leader at Little Rock. He had 259 steals, and Fish in 2nd place had 184. He had 534 assists and Fish had 472. And you can throw in 259 blocks for his career, plus an 11.6 career scoring average.
I think that Williams sat near me at one of the games when the alumni are recognized, and I started to go speak to him, but didn't; and I really regret it. Old-timers need to know that they are remembered.
