Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1018791, member: 27"] Mine was probably Roosevelt Bouie. At the time, we struggled mightily to get big men and had been using 6'5 guys who struggled to score 6 PPG or 6'9 275 pound guys who also struggled to score 6 PPG. He was the first quality big guy of the JB era. He came from Kendall, NY, right about halfway between Syracuse and St Bonaventure and his recruitment was an all out war with the Bonnies. Who know what might have happened had he decided to go to Olean? My understanding is that he would have done just that had Roy Danforth not left SU abruptly to go to Tulane (Rosie liked JB a lot more than Slick Roy). It was the first official indication that James Arthur Boeheim might have been a good choice as the new Syracuse basketball coach. [/QUOTE]
