Bob Bosley was one of the top basketball talents of the post World War II era. Between 1950 and 1954 Bosley scored 1,532 points, which is currently fifth-best in Wagner history. His 19.0 career scoring average is the fourth-best ever, and his 21.1 average in 1951 is 8th on the all-time list. Bosley was the first Wagner basketball player to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau, and was recognized by many as one of the top players in region during his time. His 1,532 career points stood as a school record for 17 years before it was broken in 1970 by Ray Hodge.
