Let's get some discussion going:
Any thoughts on previous Mr. Basketball awards? Strongest group? Weakest group? Biggest snub? Top 5 winners? Anything and everything Mr. Basketball!

I've always looked at it as a career award because only seniors can win it. I know he missed time that year, but since he was the WDA senior athlete of the year I was shocked he didn't win Mr. Bball.

This is still beyond baffling to me.
I still firmly believe that if he was not going to win, he should not have been a candidate, because he was stratospheres better at basketball than everyone else that season.

I don't think it's that baffling. Lamelo Ball was almost runner up for ROY because of games missed. Apparently Hanstad missed enough games for that to happen to him.

Top 1: BOSCHEE, then after him there is plenty of room for debate. McD's All American, Kansas recruit, all-time Class A scorer. No disrespect to Guldseth.
I think right below him is Guldseth, Younger, Berg, Dufault, and Grant Nelson. Probably a few others I never saw play. Maybe Mertens and AJ Jacobson are in that group.
