Oso planning to go pro
Id still go with MoBut you did not mess with Lackey (the Black Swan)Just ask South Carolina!!
Come again? I believe he was not someone people messed with. Maybe it's time for a Confederacy of Badasses?
Besides Mo Lucas who's the biggest badass we've ever had?
Lucas definitely was #1 Tough guys who could play included (off the top of my head) Bob Lackey, Jerome Whitehead, Brian Brunkhorst, Jae Crowder and JFB. Tough guys who couldn’t play? Hughie McMahon and Joe Nethen.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
LennyI like your list of tough guys who could not play. Hugh is a great guy, but probably better guy than basketball player.
David Boone and Robert Byrd
Byrd was two years ahead of me at Marquette and I got to know him a little when he was a senior and I was a sophomore. He was the best player on the team and, as dajudge says, a real class act. I'd love it if every Marquette team for the rest of my life has a player like Robert Byrd on it.
AmenLast I knew Robert was running the golf program for disadvantaged kids on 16/17 and kilbourn but I have not seen him for several years
I do not remember what Lackey weighed. My memory says Lucas was 6-8 1/2 225 lbs. He was very strong for that era. Today he would be pushed around. Ellis was 6'9" 190. In the early 70's players were not weight lifting. Players today are much stronger.
Are we still involved with Gueye?
No, he’s going back to Washington State
