Jerry Kroll was another of the basketball stars from 1967-70, finishing his career with 1,165 points. The 6-4 forward is still the most accurate free throw shooter in Wildcat history, having knocked down 83.5 (313 of 375) percent of his free throws. A spectacular outside shooter, Kroll connected on nearly 48 percent of his field goal attempts. Kroll’s best year came as a junior when he average 16.0 points a game and missed just 19 of his 138 free throws, plus was named to the All-Southern Conference first team. He was also named to the All-SoCon Tournament second team in 1968, and first team in ’69 and ’70. On the defensive end of the court, he was considered a terrific defender as well. And despite being listed as a forward, Kroll led the team in assists as a senior with 81.
