Aw man. What a high school legend he was. I remember being disappointed when the late local news said he was going to UNC instead of Marquette.

Two players, Ricky Olson and Joe Wolf, would have been the difference, hey?

Yep, his recruitment was highly profiled and it seems he was down to MU or NC for a long time.  At the time he was doing things few guys 6’10 were doing.  Handling the ball, passing, taking his shots 15 feet and out.  He by no means fit the stereotype for bigs back then.  And he was dominant in high school and everyone wanted him.  People thought he could return MU to glory.  But it wasn’t to be. 

He never produced to his hype but was a solid college player (believe he stayed 4 years) and then a first rounder who was a serviceable journeyman role player in the NBA.

Didn’t know that but not surprised.  High character and a winner.
