High School: Roosevelt High School C |

|
| Games 167, 16.1 ppg, 56.6% fgp, 7.4 rpg, 1.4 bpg, 29.8 mpg |
| Notes: While his only career accolade ended up being a 1x All-Conference Center, Demarco Martin was at the center of the Mighty Oaks 3rd push up into D1. A mountain of a man with a silky smooth shot, Martin finished as Oakland City's 2nd all-time leading scorer. He now plays overseas in the UK. |

#13 - Randy Schmid [ID #144263] PF |
| Home Town: Indianapolis, Indiana
High School: Muir High School PF C |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2028 - 2032 Height: 6' 8½" Skill Index: 165 |
|
| Games 173, 11.8 ppg, 53.6% fgp, 7.4 rpg, 1.3 spg, 27.2 mpg |
| Notes: While he might have been second in his signing class behind five star Jarrod Chaffin, it was Randy Schmid who ended up making the bigger impact in Oakland City. In the greatest win in school history, it was Schmid who had six points in a steal in the final minute to secure a historic 15-2 upset over Clark in the 2031 NCAA tournament. |

#16 - Chandler Bender [ID #172339] PG |
Home Town: Chicago, Illinois 
High School: Madison High School PG |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2034 - 2039 Height: 6' Skill Index: 176 |
|
| Games 172, 6.3 ppg, 0.6 3pg, 81.4% ftp, 8.7 apg, 1.4 spg, 31.0 mpg |
| Notes: One of the 10 greatest playmakers in Hardwood history, Chandler Bender was the table-setter for the golden era of Oakland City basketball. While his lack of any sort of scoring bag held him back from making the NBA, Bender is one of the Euroleagues steadiest hands as Alba Berlins starting PG. |

#24 - David Keller [ID #133093] PF |
| Home Town: Wheaton, Illinois
High School: South Wheaton High School PF c |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2026 - 2031 Height: 6' 10" Skill Index: 156 |
|
| Games 173, 18.4 ppg, 59.2% fgp, 0.6 3pg, 35.9% 3pp, 6.9 rpg, 31.5 mpg |
Notes: David Keller was the beating heart of Oakland City's second foray into DI, including their historic 15-seed upset over Clark.
The Mighty Oaks' all-time leading scorer, Keller was an unstoppable force down low due to his height and near-mythical leaping ability for a big man.
Many thought he would be drafted, but Keller, unfortunately, did not hear his name called on draft night. He's currently grinding in the G-League and waiting for his opportunity. |

#25 - Johnnie Little [ID #117103] SF |
Home Town: West Warwick, Rhode Island 
High School: Memorial High School SF SG pf |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2022 - 2026 Height: 6' 6½" Skill Index: 178 |
|
| Games 160, 15.5 ppg, 45.8% fgp, 2.7 3pg, 39.6% 3pp, 82.8% ftp, 1.1 spg, 32.3 mpg |
| Notes: The Mighty Oaks all-time leading scorer for a time, Johnnie Littles name is synonymous with the rise of Oakland City basketball to Division One. A lights-out shooter and dominating defender, Little was a valuable starter all four years. He currently is playing in Europe but has his eyes set on an opportunity in the NBA one day |

#32 - Wally Jacobs [ID #178997] C |
| Home Town: Jeffersonville, Indiana
High School: Immaculate Conception High School C PF |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2036 - 2040 Height: 6' 11" Skill Index: 168 |
|
| Games 167, 20.0 ppg, 62.8% fgp, 9.8 rpg, 1.3 spg, 1.3 bpg, 28.7 mpg |
| Notes: What more can be said about the undisputed greatest player in Oakland City history that hasn't been said already? Equal parts revered and feared by opponents, Wally Jacobs terrorized Hardwood like few others before him during his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. Tragically, Jacobs suffered a career-ending leg injury during a pickup run ahead of the NBA draft, where he would have been a surefire top-ten pick. Now, Jacobs is blazing his own path as a Coach, moving back to coach his old High School in Jeffersonville, Indiana. |

#33 - Bob Van Horn [ID #166217] PF |
| Home Town: Peoria, Illinois
High School: King High School PF SF C |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2033 - 2038 Height: 6' 7" Skill Index: 183 |
|
| Games 175, 13.5 ppg, 49.9% fgp, 1.7 3pg, 41.1% 3pp, 81.5% ftp, 6.8 rpg, 1.5 spg, 29.3 mpg |
| Notes: The 2037-38 National Defensive Player of the Year and a 2nd team All-American, Bob Van Horn was the epitome of Oakland City basketball with well-rounded offensive game and downright dominant clamps. While his size at the 4 held him back from being an NBA player, Van Horn is a dominant force overseas, currently playing for Alba Berlin. |

#53 - Bart Donahue [ID #170660] C |
| Home Town: Indianapolis, Indiana
High School: Brown High School C SF PF |
| Hall Of Famer Years: 2034 - 2039 Height: 6' 9½" Skill Index: 182 |
|
| Games 169, 14.6 ppg, 51.7% fgp, 1.5 3pg, 39.2% 3pp, 7.3 rpg, 1.4 spg, 29.5 mpg |
| Notes: The Robin to Wally Jacobs Batman, some Mighty Oaks fans would argue that Donahue was actually more important to the team that claimed the program's first-ever #1 seed. Thanks to his modern skillset, the Bart Room became the second Mighty Oak to ever make the NBA, and is a solid rotation big for the Atlanta Hawks. |
