Thanks CTS

OK, I know two of the three are Cumberland Posey and Chuck Cooper, who is the third?

He was an All American but did not see on his biography that he was in the Naismith HOF. Good guess though buddy. This is baffling.

Paul Birch, Green, Ricketts, Tucker and Somerset should be in along with Chick Davies as coach! Birch was a 2-time ALL-American.

I’m a little confused by it as well. I see 2 as noted previously but not a third listed.

It looks like the article made an error on Duquesne. According to the HOF database Duquesne only has Cooper and Posey enshrined.

I think we'll just let that error perpetuate. Mums the word. I wouldn't confess it either.

I've justified it in my own mind because Duquesne can say something that not many schools can: They have a player, Cumberland Posey, in both the Basketball and Baseball HOFs. He should count as 2.
