Shaun Golden went to Georgia, not South Carolina.  Looks like he didn't have a big career there:

ALSO -- I didn't know this information, but came across this tidbit while doing some quick research on Golden just now:

[I]As for the story Golden tells, it's his own, from his childhood, to becoming one of the best high school basketball players in the country in 1989, playing for his father, the legendary Louie Golden, at Riverside, and alongside the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Bobby Hurley and Kenny Anderson in the McDonald's All-American Game.

The 7-foot-1 O'Neal, of course, became one of the NBA's greatest big men. Hurley, who played at Duke, and Anderson, who played at Georgia Tech, were more in line with the 6-3 Golden, and both went on to the NBA.

"I committed to Syracuse, and my mother cried, and it snowed on my birthday, which is Sept. 14, so I de-committed to Syracuse," Golden said following the program.

He also had an offer from Duke, but Georgia had been his "childhood dream," so after deciding against Syracuse, he opted for Georgia.[/I]

Had NO IDEA he had committed here!

Also... snow on September 14th?  I'm calling BS on that, even in Syracuse.
