Way too low. All time leading scorer. His performance throughout the NC run is one of the very few greatest in tournament history.

could also consistently get off his shot (his height and atheleticism making the difference over some smaller less atheletic, yet still brilliant shooters).
Many great college shooters don't go on to be great shooters in the NBA because of physical limitations, Glen was able to make that transition.

on this thread.
He was a pure joy to watch and did it the
right way and stayed longer than he had to
before going pro. The ultimate Michigan
Man. His shot was and is still the purest I've
ever seen.
I can't believe he isn't top 5 material in the poll.
