Damn, this was the squad...I mean, it was my first year back in DC after college (St. John's). I thought these guys were going to take us over the hump. I was getting into recruiting MUCH more heavy and believed the hype of these cats. Had just started to pay more attention to message boards (Canessport was on fire back then lol) Nobody couldn't have told me Marcus Forston wasn't gonna be a problem. That Tommy Streeter was going to be young Dre Johnson... Aldarius looked VERY promising. Hell, that whole class had me hype. I was finished with cats like Glenn Cook, no disrespect to him, but I wanted more!
They had Pimp Collier, my guy LaRon Byrd (loved that he wore 47 for some reason, it was just different lol), crazy Aurthur Brown who dipped back to KState
he was one of the jewels of the class. I STILL rock with Jacory. I defended him so much throughout his career (and would do it again in a heartbeat). Loved that kid man, Dude game was so smooth. Sucks he wasn't bigger and he had Randy Shannon as his coach. I actually thought Vaughn Telemaque was gonna be a Meast Jr (i disrespect the GOAT by even pairing them in the same sentence)...smh man have I grown and matured and realized that I wasn't seeing things the right way...started to STUDY the game more. Better coaching could've had this team actually competing in big time games...
was this the era of that super cold Wisconsin bowl game where our guys looked like slow as molasses snow men?
Man we had some rough years
