Those listed for us all seem to have transferred in or left the program early so as not to be very productive here. But size does matter. Imagine Odufuwa accomplishing his double-doubles at 6'1".

So was Johnny Schindler, and he did pretty well for us as a 5'8"ish 170 poundish DB.

Problem was I think Johnny's hands were bigger than Doug's. Horrock's was an interesting player too.

No, many of those players were very productive.

Horrocks , John - 7'0 - C - 1981-1982 - - Maybe the best true center NT has ever had. Was offensive force on team

Riley , Sean - 6'11 - C - 1995-1996 - Katy HS , Houston, TX - Very good first two seasons before transferring, could completely dominate a game; Never understood why he was not more successful at Illinois State

Anstey , Graeme - 6'11 - C - 1997-1998 - San Jose St Univ , Melbourne, Australia - Only lasted a season on Trilli team, went back to Australia to play pro

Howerton , Justin - 6'10 - C - 2005-2006 - Howe HS , Howe, TX - Showed flashes but was never more than bench player

Grissom , Greg - 6'10 - C - 1981-1982 - - Recruited in same class as Horrocks, transferred to TCU after freshman year and became starting center there

Masters , Unjel - 6'10 - C - 1999-2000 - South Oak Cliff HS , Dallas, TX - Never was a big factor, disappeared after a couple of years

Barnett , Justin - 6'10 - C - 2001-2002 - Martin HS , Arlington, TX - Lots of injury problems, mostly a bench player

*Byrd , Sam - 6'10 - C - 2002-2003 - Hastings HS , Alief, TX -

*Muse , Curtis - 6'10 - C - 2006-2007 - Mineral Area JC (Vashon HS) , St. Louis, MO -

Schindler , Doug - 6'10 - - 1988-1989 - -Doug started a couple of years with Gipson below; probably the biggest front court in NT history Schindler was not a great athlete but not a bad player

Gipson , Thomas - 6'9 - C - 1990-1991 - Univ. of Texas , Seguin, TX - Get criticized a lot on board, but he was a good college player just probably underachieved

*Jackson , Chris - 6'9 - C - 1999-2000 - Kimball HS , Dallas, TX -

Johnson , Shawnson - 6'9 - C - 2003-2004 - LSU Transfer , Shreveport, LA - Good to great player for one semester; still don't understand a two year ship for one semester

Wooden , Keith - 6'9 - F - 2006-2007 - Arizona St , Lawrence, KA - Injury prone and often out of shape but one of the best offensive centers at NT

Miller , Jason - 6'9 - C - 1999-2000 - Livingston HS , Livingston, TX - Good player but transferred to OSU after soph year. Got to be a bit player there,would have been a star here

Teddar , Paul - 6'9 - C - 1975-1976 - Richardson , Richardson, TX - Only guy on list, I don't remember at all

Bailey , Terry - 6'8 - C - 1974-1975 - Henderson County JC , Crandall, TX - Good offensive game, maybe the best all around center to play for NT

Morgan , Ronnie - 6'7 - C - 1987-1988 - South Oak Cliff , Dallas, TX - Closer to 6'5 but a great rebounder, key player in NT's first NCAA appearance; Left team after junior year, NT cited health issues ( high blood pressure) but he went on to play overseas
