1. Dan Issel

3 seasons, 25.8 points, 13 rebounds, 51% FG

A pretty simple answer for No. 1 on this list. Issel averaged over 25 points per game for his career, which saw him score 2,138 points for Kentucky.

When it comes to scoring records at Kentucky, Issel holds nearly every one. His senior year scoring average of 33.9 points per game is the best in a season and he held the single-game scoring record of 53 until Meeks broke it in 2009.

At 6’9″ Issel played the power forward and center position for Kentucky during his four years in Lexington. A dominating scorer, he was also an outstanding rebounder, leaving Kentucky as the all-time leading rebounder.
