4. Marshall Henderson – Ole Miss

During his time at Ole Miss, Henderson was one of the best scorers in the SEC and the entire country. The guard started his career at Utah and left after one season due to personal reasons and his want to be closer to home. After a season in the JUCO ranks the guard arrived in Mississippi and changed the course of Ole Miss basketball.

The guard helped Ole Miss get back to the NCAA tournament in the 2012-2013 season, it was the first time the Rebels had made it since 2001. The guard and his 20.1 points per game helped the Rebels to an upset over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament. The next season Henderson scored 19 points per game but was not good enough to get to the NCAA tournament and his team fizzled out in the SEC Tournament. The guard is remembered in the annals of NCAA basketball for a far different reason.

The guard was brash, cocky and did many things thought of as an attention grab. Couple that with the fact that he was arrested for drugs and alcohol while in college and you have a player who fans remember for all the wrong reasons. Many wonders how a player like Henderson could still find a home in college basketball, he was seemingly always causing a problem for both the administration and the coaches he played for.

The former Rebel was not liked by many fanbases and seeing his antics, like running over to the opponents’ side of the stands and puffing out his chest and showing the Ole Miss on his jersey during a game. He was also seen showing the opponents who was number one after the NCAA tournament loss to LaSalle. It is not hard to see why Henderson finds himself on this list.
