Missing two players.
Since the 1936-37 season: Howard Vocke, James White, Hy Gotkin, Len Doctor, Gerry Calabrese, Frank Giancontieri, Phil Sagona, Ken Cruz, Mike Belobuono, Joe Daley, Robert Larrañaga, John Kresse, Jack Brunner, Rick Riley, Kevin Raftery, Billy Clarke, Kevin Williams, Greg Laskow, Ron Rowan, Jason Buchanan, Erick Barkley, Elijah Ingram, Tyshwan Edmondson, Dwight Hardy, Chris Obepka, Elijah Holifield, Bryan Trimble, Thomas O'Connell, Arnaldo Toro, Kolby King and RJ Luis.
Dick Engert (1956-57) and Jerry Paluch (1967-68) Well done to all.
How can I forget Laskow? Haven’t seen him in years but was a real good guy back then.
The 1983-84 walkon duo of Laskow and Sasko were fan favorites and recollect the crowd roaring when coach put them in garbage time. Jim Sasko also played on SJU baseball team.
Sasko another great guy. He married a woman (Ulrica) from the Women’s Basketball Team and moved to and still lives in her native country, Sweden. He at one time was their National Baseball Team coach.
That would have made a great law firm name
Remember it with names reversed thou: Sasko and Lasko. If the walkons were named Sasko and Jones or Lasko and Smith doubt they would have been as popular.

Totally forgot Rosedale's own Billy Clarke.
Know someone who played HS ball in NJ, and said Jerry Paluch was a big-time recruit and went to SJU. What happened to him?
Who, I think, transferred to rutgers and was booed on his return to AH.
I remember he used to bring the ball up court with a reverse dribble and be called for a backcourt violation. Lou used to put him and Weadock in for the last 2 minutes of the half and our 8–10 point lead would invariably shrink to 2 at halftime
Clarke averaged 1.7 ppg in 3 seasons with SJU. He averaged 1.8 in his final year at Rutgers. I guess he made the right decision.

I remember we beat Syracuse (with Marty Byrnes) 100-75 at AH. Towards the end the crowd was chanting "Wea-dock, Wea-dock" and he responded with 10 points of my memory serves me correctly.I remember he used to bring the ball up court with a reverse dribble and be called for a backcourt violation. Lou used to put him and Weadock in for the last 2 minutes of the half and our 8–10 point lead would invariably shrink to 2 at halftime
Like when Ron Stewart scored 8 points vs DePaul in his Alumni Hall swan song in ‘85
Remember that game like it was yesterday, all of Alumni Hall was cheering for Ron. I had gotten to know Ron when I came back to college in 1982 since we had the same major. We would get lunch together between classes and hang out until he had practice and I had to get to work.
Redfans are messed up. I got 5 texts today asking if I was ok with him sitting and shooting. Even I don’t have a problem with that you heartless sob’s
Another great and classy guy. I remember that game. Bill Wennington got in early foul trouble and Stewart game into the game and played extremely well on both sides of the ball. He deserved those cheers.
