Garfinkel was also eminently quotable. The Syracuse newspapers used to go to him for a sound byte type quote a lot when Syracuse would get a verbal to give SU fans a feel for what the player brought to the table.
Here are a few I remember (at least I think I remember):
Frank Tourella (sp?) was a skinny 7 foot center from NYC who verbaled to SU. He had health or grade issues, maybe both and never arrived on campus.
Garfinkel's description:
"An advance poster for famine"
Red Bruin was one of SU's first HS AAs. He was from Queens.
"Best swingman since Benny Goodman"
Rafael Addison was a skinny SF from Jersey City
"Kisses the glass like Casanova"
Howard was a character. Great ambassador for the game...he was kind of a lesser known version of Dick Vitale. RIP.
