I think he once dropped six 3 pointers in one game!That was his first game as a Freshman, and he never came close to matching it. Chris was better known as one of the best on ball defenders ever to wear an LU uni. His most famous moment however did involve another 3 pointer, the one he dropped against UNC in the NCAA tourney in 94 to give us the lead with 10 minutes to play. I don´t like to talk about what happened after that.
Sly Fox wrote:Thanks for the updates. Has Chris ever been to the board? If not, an invitation from you would be probably be in order.I don't know if he would even think about getting on this board. Toomer is not the messageboard, Facebook/Twitter type. But I will invite him to come on. I still have some influence after all these years I think.

C.J. Toomer set the state record for passing yards in a season, and can add to it this weekend.
CJ Toomer has become the record holder for passing yards in a season in Alaska history.
The Service (Anchorage, Alaska) senior set the mark in a 47-27 semifinal victory last week over Dimond (Anchorage), according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Toomer finished the game with 2,624 yards, surpassing the record of 2,559 set by Anchorage West's Conor Feckley in 2011. He recorded 227 passing yards in the playoff win and also added three touchdowns - in addition to two running scores.

If he ends up at Libery he would be expecting to compete for a starting position. Eastern Washington is pretty high on him too. I can't wait to see if he gets to play QB or gets moved to somewhere else.
SCAR wrote:No disrespect, but anyone coming here should be expecting to compete for a starting position. Just because he is being recruited by the PAC doesn't mean he should come here (if he does) and be given a starting spot. With what you said, i'm sure that at the RB position CR came here and said the same thing but end the end couldn't beat out DR for the #1 spot. Where ever he ends up he should be thankful for the opportunity. What kids need to learn is they should probably fall in love with who falls in love with them, otherwise they could end up somewhere they think they want to be and end up hating it.BJWilliams wrote:Looking at his size, he looks like he would be a good fit as either a #2 at the slot behind Gabe or another horse in what would be a very loaded stable at tailback.CJ is being recruited by the Pac 10.

Hope we get him.Keep in mind that this kid lives with his mom in Alaska and dad is thousands of miles away in NC. I don't know how long that has been the case, but it certainly can make a big difference as to how much influence his father may have in the decision.
