re: ALL -Bust BBall team

You must have grown up in T&C, eh? Big Star, Acme Cleaners, T7C Pharmacy, and Pirogue North?

Ahhh, yes. Forgot that was you.

I grew up near there, myself...then we moved. My best friend in BR grew up in that hood as well.

Enjoy brotha. Let me know if you see me. I'll be at the game tomorrow as well.

"ben voogd was pretty hyped coming from oregon..and he didn't do shite"

hyped equals having no other div 1 offers? not even from your own state teams?
he wasnt hyped in the slightest

no way was Geert a bust.... he probably was the biggest overachiever in BBall history....

Geert was defintely a success at LSU, far from being a 'bust'. Funny thing, he was drafted & ended up backing Shaq in the pros too!!

geert was a 1st round draft pick

Yeah, I was gonna say that Curry never played here, and when he did sign with LSU, we also hired his coach at Redemptorist, Gary Duhe. Curry went on to play for Marshall, coached by the aforementioned Rick Huckaby. Oddly enough, Huckaby was hired away from Redemptorist to coach at LSU as an assitant when we signed his top player Howard Hi C Carter in 79'.
