SJU Athletics HOF Class of 2021
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
would you happen to know when the event is taking place ? I would love to attend if possible, timing, border closure and COVID-19 amongst others. Shenneika Smith who will be indoctrinated In this class called me earlier this morning to tell me she is coming to Montréal in exactly two (2) weeks to scout a tournament. It would be special to be in attendance at this great event.Paultzman post=438864 said:
watching Joe DePre on the floor with Johnny Warren made for a season ticket full of joy....and a lot of wins at Alumni Hall.
Their sheer hustle, on top of all that skill, would make them as formidable today as they were dominating back then.

I thought his first name was Jumpin’!
Knight, I do remember that sobriquet for Depre but imho that belongs to the original "Jumpin Johnny Green" my first favorite Knick who was a 26 year old rookie in 1960 after starring at Michigan State following military service. Had a couple of really good years with the Knicks in the early 60s when I started following basketball. What a leaper and rebounder he was!

Is football player Dennis Bligen in our HoF?
Mark Jackson should have been in our HoF years ago.

JSJ pointed out that Mark's HOF timing was due to conflicts in Mark's schedule, not to the overlooking of Mark and his accomplishments.
It definitely would have happened sooner if the school had anything to do with it.
This time around Mark's schedule was clear and he could make it.
