A Warrior.
Rip to the second truly great warrior we ever had
My heart broke when I saw this. Don Kojis was an incredible player and an incredible man.
Truly one of the all time greats at MU.
Wow....what a sad day. From everything I've heard or read he is easily a top 5 Warrior. My deepest condolences to his family.
15.1 rebs???? Damn.....maybe top 3 ever?

Different era and game when he played but still a great cager. Well before my time but never heard a cross word about him on and off the court. A great Marquette representative from all indications.
I hope he is honored before tip-off tonight.
One of the best to ever walk through the program.
Still thinking about Don Kojis . Mr. Dodds had a very well written obituary

There is a recent interview with Don at the 100th anniversary event.
Also there is some silent film footage of Don from the Pros. I watched Don many times in the pros and his game is what stimulated my interest in MU basketball. He was a player much ahead of his time that truly got the hard rebounds.

I listened to Marquette games on the radio in grade school. Don Kojis and Walt Mangahm were really incredible players. It was because of them that I enrolled at Marquette.
What are we doing to honor Mr. Kojis? Is something planned for the 27th?
