The best to party with. I backpacked in Europe 1995, met a friend and travelled to different countries with this guy from Boston and an Aussie rules football player.

Phenomenal time spent with these strangers. The Australian was larger than life, so funny, so popular with people we met and only smiles and laughter. He also had a knack for keeping us out of trouble on a few close calls!

Have to dig up my diary one day and relive it.

One year during the BET, we were told we had to check out this new Autsralian bar (somewhere) in the city. We get like two blocks from it and the cabbie pulls over. Says that’s as far as he goes. Well there’s four of us, so we walk through what evidently was a very shady area (without incident) and enter the bar. As I recall, they only had Fosters and a shot load of Aussies. I don’t really recall much after that, other than I think we had a good time.

I had to reply to this even if it does show my age. I actually played against warwell in High School when he played at candor. You couldn't dunk in this days but in warm ups people were going and gagging because he could put his elbow up by the rim when warming up. My claim to fame is blocking one of his shot from behind when he don't know I was there..lol

so yes I'm as old as bones too!!

He was a piece of work. His game was a little wild but with some flash. He didn’t last long at SU. I wonder where he is today. Billy Keys and the Harmon kid out of NJ are a couple of others that never panned out.

Had high hopes for both!

UConn just got a verbal from the same Australisn NBL1 team Luke Fennell plays on. His name is Jacob Furphy.

I am encouraged to see that Luke actually has better statistics.

Should we be discouraged the Hurley didn’t try to take our guy, or is that more roster composition
 
I find it interesting that they both play on the same team yet only one (Furphy) has a ranking on 247. You would think that the people evaluating and assigning rankings/stars watched games in which Fennell also played.

I know Furphy had 21 in the Asia Cup final in September, where I think a lot of the players got major exposure. Maybe got some extra attention from that? Luke only had 11 in the final but had 24 in the semi-final.

Jacob had a better tournament than Luke. Also played quite a but more.

It will be interesting to watch how their careers progress...

No. Furphy is a great prospect. So is Fennell.

They play different positions.

If Fennell played in the US, he'd probably be around a top 50 prospect. He's good, and he has a high volume of international experience.
 
Funny how teams seem to be right behind us when we are onto a kid early. Furphy is a different kid but funny how all the sudden UConn has a talented Aussie. Both are good players but I like Fennells all around game a little more. Either way hope we keep tapping the overseas talent pool.

Michigan had a kid commit to them right before Fennell committed to us
