He was foolish to leave early, as most of them are. Shamorie Ponds, Lovett, the list goes on.

- Thread starter RedStormNC
- Start date
If we had NIL back then, both Ponds and Lovett would have stayed longer.
Maybe, maybe not. Justin has had a long successful career overseas and there was no NIL back then.
Or transferred for more $

Georgetown Athletics Mourns the Passing of Lorry Michel - Georgetown University Athletics
WASHINGTON – The Georgetown Athletics community mourns the passing of Lorry Michel, who has been part of the Georgetown University Athletics Department since 1977.

Such sad news coming out of Georgetown. Lorry took over Georgetown hoops as their athletic trainer the same year, 1981, as me. We served on several Conference committees together through the years and served together with USA Basketball and the USOC. We both did the 1991 World University Games in England and 1992 Barcelona Olympics as members of the medical staff. We became close friends early on, never allowing all the bad blood between the Hoyas and Redmen to come between us. Even when she took ill and could no longer serve as their trainer, Lorry was always there on the court every year waiting for me whenever we played in DC. RIP Lorry
The late Malik Sealy will be inducted into The Bronx Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2024. He played his HS basketball at Tolentine winning a CHSAA and State championship in 1988, becoming a McDonalds All-American. Malik attended St John’s University becoming their second all-time leading scorer. Malik played 8 years in the NBA before his tragic death. Malik will be honored November 7th at Villa Barone Manor at the Awards Dinner Ceremony. A Bronx Legend who left us too soon. Tickets are available on our website Thebronxbasketballhof.com
Well deserved honor for Malik but what took them so long to honor him?

He was a good post player on some bad teams. Liked Lamont a lot. He would have had much better numbers if Darryl Hill had stayed healthy.
Thanks for info--we have had a similar organization in Brooklyn for years
Good money to be made and still living the dream. Congrats to them all.

DePaul, Xavier, Creighton, Marquette, Seton Hall and St. Johns all used to have football. UConn, Nova, Butler and Hoyas still sponsor it. PC only one never to have it. How about Seton Hall having football only 17 years after the end of the Civil War. And Xavier football is the answer to a college football trivia question! Who can name the question?

Who did Marshall “the Thundering Herd” beat at home for their first win after a 1970 plane crash that killed all 75 people aboard which included players, coaches, administrators, family, friends, and the plane crew?
Marshall: From tragedy to triumph
A chartered Southern Airlines plane, transporting players, coaches, wives and boosters of Marshall University, crashed and burned into a wet, foggy hillside two miles from the runway of Tri-State Airport. All 75 passengers were killed.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly reco you watch the movie “We Are Marshall”.

Correct
When Seton Hall disbanded their football program in 1982, IIRC, St. John’s got a pretty good Middle Linebacker who transferred in from there.
