John Collins showed huge progress at Wake Forest, so much so, that he earned a First Round Pick (19^th Overall) in 2017 by Atlanta.

The Power Forward was a Second Team All-Rookie Selection, starting 26 of his 74 Games, and averaging 10.5 Points per Game.  He shot that number up as a sophomore to 19.5 Points, and was now in the starting five.  Collins continued his upward trajectory, posting a PER over 20 over three years in a row (2018-19 to 2020-21)

Collins was less featured in his last two seasons, and his PPG in 2022-23 (13.1) was his lowest since his rokkie year.  The Hawks traded Collins to Utah in 2023, thus ending his run with Atlanta.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is news to us that Middle Tennessee State has announced six new members of their Hall of Fame.

The Class will be formally introduced on October 2, before their home game against Marshall

The new members are:

Rawley Bishop, Baseball, Class of 2009:  Bishop was a two-time All-Sun Belt Selection and is the school’s all-time leader in RBIs, Runs Scored and Total Bases.  He is also second in Home Runs.

Figrin D’An and the Modal Nodes (Star Wars):  The house band at the Mos Eisley Cantina was a finalist the last two years.  No band can bounce back after seeing a fatality better than this one.

Ganstalicious (The Boondocks):  The favorite rapper of Riley Freeman, was very successful, very misogynistic and very closeted.  He is a first time Semi-Finalist.

The Be Sharps (The Simpsons):  Former Grammy winners, the Be-Sharps were on top of the world for a brief period of time.  Comprised of Homer, Barney, Apu and Principal Skinner, they are four-time Finalists.

The California Raisins (The California Raisins):  The raisins from California wanted you to eat them, and they sang to old soul songs for your “comsumption”.

The Commitments (The Commitments):  Dublin, Ireland produced one of the greatest soul groups ever, and they have been a Finalist once before.

The Oreos (A Star Is Born ‘76):  Esther Hoffman sings in the middle of two black women...oreos!  Get it?  Like another character from a film of the same, she bolts into stardom, and a legit hit song comes from it.  This is their first time as a Semi-Finalist.

The Partridge Family (The Partridge Family):  The Southern California family of musicians (except the young kids, who couldn’t do anything) played gigs all over the state in the early 70s and got there on the most amazingly painted bus.  They have been Semi-Finalists four times before.

This year’s Fictitious Rock and Roll Semi-Finalists Contributors are:

Alan M. Mayberry (Josie & The Pussycats):  Mayberry was little more than a roadie in terms of what he did for the band, but he was the devoted boyfriend of Josie.  Doesn’t that type of support matter?
