Nice read about undoubtedly a good young man. Hope he meets or exceeds his goals for this year. IU football is due for some good fortune. Go Hoosiers.

Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land, And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command, Your old road is rapidly agin', Please get out of the new one If you can't lend a hand For the times they are a changin'. Dylan

Bing!!! Thank you, sir!!

And that's great...And your choice. Others may choose to go down a different path...And that's great too.

Done. I have requested that your son be added to my church's intercession prayer list. Lots of prayers on his behalf.

If it's prayers and thoughts that are needed...you have them, Mile. You bring that calm voice of reason and civility that everyone on this board appreciates.

Yeah...I agree with you there. After year 4, he didn't do much. Certainly didn't live up to the 3 time national college player of the year expectations.

I also believe he had injuries that impacted his career.

Rico, I think some might argue with you regarding Sampson. He did avg 15.5 pts and almost 9 rebs for his nba career. No, he wasn't Kareem, but he was an all-star multiple times, I believe. I realize folks expectations are all different, as well as what constitutes a failure or bust.

Knight's system didn't translate that well to the nba, in my opinion. Individual skills versus a team system. He had a number of players who had acceptable/serviceable careers, but few HOF players, i.e.. Isaiah T.

I should have done some research on USF. Forgot about Bill Cartwright and some of teams USF had in the 70's and 80's. They even made the elite eight in the 60's.

Jerry Tarkanian, Al McGuire, Ray Meyer - RIP. The programs were never the same. In the case of San Francisco, I think they had one famous team because of Bill Russell and K.C. Jones.

He also grew up in Cincinnati.
