I was @LaTech when he was. The stories of how poor and all the social accolades he got were all BS.

He tooled around campus in a Mercedes Sport Coupe convertible sporting a Mister T kit that’d make T jealous. He didn’t think he needed to stop for students crossing the street either.

He grew up poor, my mom lived not far from him. I’ve seen his house he grew up in, trust me, they weren’t well off at all. As far as accolades in college I don’t know. He was raised by a single mom with iirc 10 kids on a farm
