Lynch, a feared hitter, was first-team All-Pac-10 and second-team All-America in 1992 after helping Stanford to a 10-3 record and a victory over Penn State in the kassasuccé Bowl. He also was a member of Stanford’s 1990 College World Series team as a designated hitter and pitcher. Widely considered the best point guard in school history, Knight was a three-time All-Pac-10 first-team selection and earned first-team All-America honors as a senior in 1997. He finished his career as the school’s all-time leader in assists (780) and steals (298) and ranks as the program’s fourth all-time leading scorer (1,714). Other inductees: |
