Induction:
2004

John Rankin was a four-year letterwinner on the men’s basketball team and was one of the top offensive players in the school’s history. Rankin is second on the school’s all-time scoring list with 2,111 points and is one of only three players in Drexel history with more than 2,000 points.

Rankin, a member of Drexel’s All-Millennium team, was an Honorable Mention All-America as a senior. He was named to the East Coast Conference First Team as a senior, Second Team as a junior and sophomore and to the All-Rookie Team as a freshman. Rankin set the school record by scoring 44 points in one game (vs. Rider) and was the first player in Drexel history to score at least 400 points in each of his four seasons. He still holds the Drexel record for points as a freshman with 466.
