Hall Of Fame Players

#3 - Jacob Barnes [ID #22078]     C
Home Town: Memphis, Tennessee             High School: Melrose High School           C PF
Hall Of Famer                     Years: 2003 - 2007                     Height: 6' 9½"                     Skill Index: 148
Games 166, 13.9 ppg, 60.6% fgp, 7.7 rpg, 1.2 spg, 1.3 bpg, 27.9 mpg
Notes: Another Blue Raider that was robbed of an opportunity to play in the NBA, Barnes was a ★★★ recruit in 2003, the year Middle Tennessee State made their first tournament appearance. He won back-to-back All-Conference awards and led Middle Tennessee State to a #3 seed in 2007 as a senior. He is and will be an inspiration for centers to come.                 Our Town, Our Team - Jacob Barnes (2003-2007)

#3 - Chase Norwood [ID #54649]     C
Home Town: Tallulah, Louisiana             High School: Tallulah High School           C pf
Hall Of Famer                     Years: 2008 - 2012                     Height: 6' 8½"                     Skill Index: 154
Games 163, 16.3 ppg, 57.9% fgp, 10.5 rpg, 1.4 bpg, 31.4 mpg
Notes: Chase Norwood really beat the odds when it came to being one of the best players on the most mediocre Blue Raider teams. Originally a ★★, he got three-straight All-Conference awards from 2010-2012, and won Conference POTY in 2011, all without taking any of his teams past the conference tournament. Definitely the most underrated player from the dark days.         One Town, One Team - Chase Norwood (2008-2012)

Notes: Though he didn't end up making the NBA, Zane Ainsworth still impress those who came to see him play in The Glass House. Recruited as a ★★★, he and Steve Leigh were a force to be reckon with in 2003, and Ainsworth took home Conference POTY (Player Of The Year) and All-Conference in 2003. He will be known as one of the best to wear the Blue and White.                 Our Town, Our Team - Zane Ainsworth (2000-2003)
