Man, NO ONE talks about Mitch Richomond's 2 years at KSU being a factor in him getting in the HOF. Grant Hill is cut from that T-Mac cloth. Both guys were on the trajectory to becoming all-time greats in the NBA until injuries took their toll. This is why they got in. Grant Hill's college accolades were irrelevant in the decision to induct him, IMO. Same goes for Richmond. If the college game weighed that heavily in the decision of those responsible for voting, we'd see guys like Danny Manning and Christian Laettner enshrined by now. Yes, it's the basketball hall of fame, but unless you are a college coach, someone who had their pro career cut short by injury/death, made a global impact, or had an illustrious career overseas, you're not getting in on your college merits.
