Are you mixing Herron up with Tyrone Albright? I could be wrong, but I feel like you are.
Both were two of our better walkons though, IMO.
DC would destroy PH. The SU FB TEAM was afraid of DC. The whole team. Dude was crazy.I would start with Paul Harris he would destroy people. I pity the person guarding him.
Pearlyou pick 5 all time Syracuse players in a pick up city street basketball environment, half court, fastest to 21 wins.
Who do you pick?
(Because i started watching only 20 years ago)
Scoop
Devo
Melo
Hak
Christmas
Hard not to include Dion or Flynn. Going for a blend of attitude and finesse

I always felt if you were a top player in the DC, NYC, Philly and Detroit areas, you could ball. I really didn't have to know much more. James Theus got a lot of grief from fans, but he was a pretty good player.Glad you guys have enjoyed the thread. I’ve always believed our core recruitment area of Philly, CNY, WNY, NYC, Brooklyn, Baltimore and Detroit has given us a competitive edge. Players like Scoop , dion and devo always seemed to have a bit more finesse due to the chip on their shoulder. I think many people undervalue the physicality still present today in the ACC compared to the old bigeast. Teams like Fsu, georgia tech, unc, notre dame and others still try to beat us through attrition and physicality.
I find it very promising our next young leader (JC) comes from NYC and seems to have the swagger and grit to show it.
I think Moten was system dependent.I'm thinking Paul Harris and Lawrence Moten would both be superstar street ball players.
There's a really good follow up story that I've heard about this incident. Might be part lore...but allegedly Coach Mac went to JB complaining about what happened. JB's response: "maybe you should recruit tougher players".there is a valid reason for the fear. ask DeRiggi, lol.
I was there
Derrick was/is a baaaaad man
