Danny Schayes' Dad was pretty good too.

And I have his autograph

In reverse of this, he had my autograph monthly attached to a rent check as my landlord

Earl Kelley. He was a dirtbag but he could play hoops.

Adrian Griffin (Alan's little bro currently verbaled to Duke)

Tom Sheehey (Mike's little bro, went to UVa when they weren't very good)

Who was Earl Kelley related to? I do not know this one, but am intregued.

Sheehey, who never considered SU after his brother Mike's transfer to St. Bonas, went to UVa in the aftermath of Ralph Sampson and they were good. The Cavaliers averaged ~20 wins a season and made the Final Four in 1983-84 while he was there. Not too too bad.

SI did a story about the UVA assistant coach killing the Sheehey's dog with his car on the home visit. They also flew Sal's Birdland wings to UVA for his official visit.

Applying this in reverse, Luke Jackson's dad was picked 4th overall in 64, played with Wilt and had a good career with the Sixers.

And LeRon Ellis's dad was a long time pro as well. He was a city kid who went to St Johns.

He went to one of the directional Illinois schools then transferred to Indiana, IIRC.

Sounds right, I remember Indiana being part of the story.
