Reggie Cross was unstoppable inside. Amazing for his height which is like Alan Williams from Santa Barbara.

49.

Reggie Cross, man.

What I remember is that he didn’t show up to the 76ers’ rookie camp. He was holding out for more money, I guess.

Philadelphia didn’t have a first-round draft pick. Cross went in the 2nd. He thought he had leverage; he thought wrong.

When Reggie Carter passed away, I got my Reggies mixed up, and thought Cross had died, initially.

I never got to see Carter played. What I remember is buying the Street & Smith Basketball Preview magazine from the old Pearl City Holiday Mart, and my uncle pointing out to me a black and white photograph of Carter at St. John’s, and saying that this guy used to play for Hawaii.

When the late Chris Gaines was declared ineligible for the WAC season, Phil Lott stepped up and hit the game-winning shot against Air Force as a freshman in the season opener.

Sheriff Drammeh. I have faith in you.

I think Fleming has an inner-Russell Westbrook in him, and wants to put up 25 shots. Here is his chance.

Mike Thomas. You hustle, man. You are a crowd favorite. I’m in the stands. I know. Whenever you do something right, people get excited. I know you want to step up. Don’t. Just grab rebounds. Play strong defense. Let the game come to you. Don’t look for your own shot.

Why is Chris Gaines dead?

I get sick in the stomach thinking about it.

#51, Maybe the mission of the schools differ. I believe the original goal was to make UH affordable to the local people. Maybe Illinois has a larger population that can afford to keep UI operational though it may not be affordable to the lower income groups. I guess you could get creative and come up with financial help plans.

#36 Hawaii and Illinois are ranked together in annual per capita income ($44,000 in 2012), but comparing in-state tuition at U of I is $15,000 versus $10,300 at UH leads to logical questions. I understand the legislatures concern when asking why the university rolled back part of their annual tuition increase and then came to the legislature poor mouthing. I realize the cost of living is different between Illinois and Hawaii, but the difference in tuition is still significant. While the additional funds requested by the UH are minimal, a full increase in tuition should have been sufficient to cover at least half of the request if not substantially more.

If I had to pick one position it would be receiver. My favorite position. The skilled player. Like Randy Moss, a 6’4 210lb beast. Don’t get it twisted, this beast runs a 4.25 40. Runs crisp routes, great hands, feet, and vision. Football IQ? Let’s say he ain’t no dummy. Played multiple sports from track, basketball, and baseball. Really, he could have played pro basketball.
TO another great specimen of receiver whose football IQ is topnotch. Let’s not forget, having all these attributes physically you still have to have the ability to learn and retain. Both are not without drama in their life and TO known as the locker room obliterator. Part of the diva persona attached to the WR position. Such as Chad O. Good solid receiver but football IQ not so much. That was obvious when he played with the Patriots.
I say this because no matter how fast, big, or great a player is. Football IQ is a must. If they can’t learn, retain, and apply. Then they are not effective. So when recruiting let’s make sure players have the grades to make a great impact not just on the field but in the classroom. Oh yea, drama free.

Don’t forget the year before, in Riley’s first year when he went 4-25 but one of those wins was against twin 7-footers Longley and Loefl. New Mexico came in ranked #18 after beating #1 Arizona that year.

Reggie Cross was the man that night, thoroughly outplaying Luc even standing at 6′-8″.

One of the most satisfying wins I’ve ever witnessed; maybe even more than beating Kansas. Was so sweet being there with my dad and just 1,500 of us in the stands to have our loyalty rewarded that night.

Now that we are thinking out of the box. An emerging source of excellent potential college football players: Nigeria. A few US Universities are starting recruit at American football camps in Africa. Look at all the Nigerian-Americans in the NFL now and there is a lot of potential in recruiting out of high schools and club teams.

31.

I did not know that.

I just knew the story about the mother enrolling at UH while her son was choosing between the ‘Bows and New Mexico.

Terry Houston at the buzzer on a shot partially blocked by Longley that deflected into the twining at “The Pit” is one of the great forgotten moments in Hawaii athletics lore. Nobody seems to remember this game.

I just got through David Bowie’s “Blackstar”. There is a section in the title track that melodically resembles Keola and Kapono Beamer’s “Honolulu City Lights”.

lest we forget that 10 UH coaches from other sports will accompany the football team to recruit Australia

now, how to get the word out with least expense?

who, at UH, would be responsible for this? and what is that person(s) doing?
