Bernard Toone

So I'm dong a high school alumni recruiting night at a Holiday Inn in Tarrytown NY and who should show up but Mr. Toone and his mother.

He was an unheard of high school senior from an unheard of high school in Yonkers.  He said, "I would like to play basketball for Marquette" and all I could see was six foot 6 or 7, turned out to be 9, and his mother. 

Dutifully I said, "I'll let the coaches know of your interest" and that was that.  He played for the 76'ers and was a sophomore in 1977.

It was my best moment as a H.S. volunteer recruiter, and it goes to show that there are still probably lots of unheralded players who are late bloomers and under the radar.



BT was not under da radar. Highly rated and sought after. Sat on da MU bench durin' his visit and was introduced to da crowd durin' a time out, hey?

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of Marquette. 

Bernard was the most  highly sought after recruit in the country that year and you made a vital contribution to our cause .
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Thanks, interesting to know that he was highly sought after because when I met him and his mother they did not seem to know how the system worked. 

All credit goes to Al and the coaches and the fact that Bernard wanted to play for Al and Marquette.  I think in their heart of hearts all the recruits know where they want to play throughout the recruiting process.  They enjoy the trips but play where their heart is.

What about that Mueller kid from Marquette HS?  6-10, walk-on?

John Kyle Mueller was a scholarship player.

I don't know if you have heard there's this new-fangled thing called the internet.  It has these places called "recruiting websites" where there are detailed stats on essentially every starter on every high school basketball team in the country.
Have some patience, FFS.

Does it come with crisp, white tablecloths?  Otherwise, he's not interested.

Oh, I am sure there was one on his card table at the recruitment fair.
