That guy would have taken the last 2 LU squads to the finals. Height, athletisicm, a sweet jumper and an unstopable left hand. Unfortunatley he and any legacy he might have left was destroyed by Mel. He's always been one of my favorites. Especially from a dark era.
    Hey guys it's been a while. What's going on Scar, Sly, Luconn, and Pamedic. Scar I tried calling you the other day but I got busy really quick and had to hang up. I will hit you up this weekend though. Are you going to home-coming? I'll be there, I'm trying to get my wife to come down but I don't think she's coming.

    Just to add my few cents, LUconn Vince didn't have a left hand at all, I wish he did. He was a tough player if he and I had a little more chemistry on the floor we would have won a few more games if Mel would have allowed that :evil: .

    I would suspect there could be some sort of Rabbit trail... talk to Caldwell... he'd have Sneed...etc.?
    Scar I just talked to Sneed the other day. Let me know what I can do. I talked to Phil and Moe last week too. Moe may be on his way overseas soon.

    Nice Former Player. Lets talk this weekend. I was actually depending on you to get some of the Hankinson era guys that you still keep in touch with. It would be good to see Mo Watkins and Phil and the boys. I know Louvon is coming for sure. It looks like we may have the game on Friday night before Midnight Madness. I think we can do a big event and have the guys show up to play a quick game. I can't play a full game and I don't think the fans want to see us for that long either. BTW if I pick, I gotta take you and Riber and Jason Allison if he can make it over from VMI. That way I won't have to guard you guys :wink: Just know Riber likes to shoot if you are on his team (kidding Reebs).

    What? I thought he was left handed. Maybe I'm thinking of Souleymane Wane. Oh well, I still liked him.

      D Hall may be showing up for this game. I have Jason Allison trying to talk him into it. That is my man. That guy should have been an entertainer. I didn't realize Adam Hopkins was in Lynchburg. I have Kenneth's number so I hope he will show up that night. FormerPlayer the game will probably be late in the evening like 10:30 or 11 PM with the team showing up at 12 midnight. I am gonna start calling more folks this weekend and get a headcount for the basketball office. It is gonna be a blast. Glad you guys are coming. I hope we have so many guys that we can't get everyone on the court. We need that kind of spirit back in our program.

      whatever you do, make sure tshirtman stays on the sideline passing out towels. careers could be ended by what he calls his "biggest asset".

      Do we have another basketball insider in our midst? 47 1/2 if you know T-Shirt man and his biggest asset then you could be an insider. I won't guess who you are though. T-Shirt man may be the one supplying our shirts for the game that night. He is also getting me a football and a baseball jersey that weekend. Can't wait.

      Darryl Williams is here in Richmond and works for Wachovia. Trying to run him down. Maybe Toomer can tell me where Darius is. I have a call out to Teddy Mcclain's cousin. Maxie is in town. I need to get him on the list. Edwin Miller may come. Boo, Che not sure where those guys are. Joey Thacker may come if Jody Chapman keeps in touch with him. Jason Allison is reaching out to Marco. I talked with D Hall and he and Barry Taylor are coming down from MD. This is gonna be fun! Tshirt I will get with you later. We will do this thing right.

      Ok,

      I got a verbal commitment from BA and he is signing his letter of intent this wee...I mean he is coming to the alumni game! I also talked with Terry Falwell and he is helping me round up some of the Gomes era guys. We should have a pretty good turnout for this. Alston says he is running and lifting and staying in shape so I may have to trade Reebs for Alston. Going with the old vet over youth. Seriously though this is big in my eyes to start getting guys like BA to come to events like this.

      Man I didn't even think to call Drew! He knows everyone. That would be nice to see Che Lugo. Marco is coming? Man this is gonna be fun! I wish I could have seen some of us in our prime at the same time. Marco, Alston, Caldwell, Jackson, etc. That would be one interesting game. Call me later. We are trying to get a good count of who is coming so they can get the shirts ordered and also set up the alumni basketball tailgate. That sounds like it is gonna be huge! Also let me know who is bringing their families. They are all welcome to the tailgate.

      Rumor has it that we might be wearing our old jerseys...Just kidding. Those shorts would be too obscene.
