Under-Appreciated Deacons

How has nobody mentioned Terrence Thompson? Started every game his graduate year for Danny Manning.
 
Sam Ivey. Guy held the program together during the worst of the Staak years.

Cal Stamp was an under appreciated, undersized 6'8"" center. He came close to double double averages his last 2 year's, playing against several of the all time best ACC big men, including Burleson, Kupchak, McMillen, Elmore, Rollins and others.

Got to talk to Cal waiting on an elevator in Niagara Falls about 15 years ago. I basically told him the same thing. He was very glad to see a fellow Deac and was positive about his time at Wake.

Chas McFarland.

This is the truth here. Only John Collins has surpassed Chas as a big man since his playing days. Chas played defense though.

Too many fans hold it against him that he was unable to spell a 5-letter first name so he dropped the "e". Chas was his own kind of evil genius capable of getting even the most mild mannered of opponents to take a swing at him.

McFarland would have been worth about 7 more games last year. MVP.
