Stacey King, Oklahoma Center (1986-1989):

"Wayman's one of the biggest reasons why I chose Oklahoma.  I wanted to be part of something special and it made logical sense to go to OU because I wanted to pattern my game after him.  I wanted to be like him.  People used to talk about 'Be like Mike (Michael Jordan),' but I wanted to be like Wayman.  We've lost a special person.  I don't think there will ever be another Wayman Tisdale."
