Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1757768, member: 27"] 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: [I] "An advance poster for famine"[/I] Red Bruin was one of SU's first HS AAs. He was from Queens. [I]"Best swingman since Benny Goodman"[/I] Rafael Addison was a skinny SF from Jersey City [I]"Kisses the glass like Casanova"[/I] Howard was a character. Great ambassador for the game...he was kind of a lesser known version of Dick Vitale. RIP. [/QUOTE]
