 ===== High School Career =====
 Meminger was a highly-sought after recruit, after becoming only the second high school player in New York City history to be named All-City, three years in a row (Lew Alcindor was the first).
+During his recruitment, he narrowed his college choices to five: UCLA, Michigan State, Cincinnati, Providence and St. Joe's.
+"UCLA was already established," Meminger said. "I knew that I could start there. . . . I met with John Wooden and (assistant coach) Denny Crum at UCLA. The lifestyle was different for me, California laid back. Everything was on a silver plate. What was the challenge? . . . Wooden told me I would be the heir to Mike Warren. With Kareem we could win more titles."

 He was inducted into Marquette's Hall of Fame in 1988.
