Joe Whelton was 5' 10" and had a heart bigger than that. He and Weston were like Shabazz and Boatright in that they were undersized but terrific. I could look it up but I don't believe they played with Lee Otis Wilson who could shoot the lights out.

Does anyone know why Earl Wilson mysteriously disappeared before the NIT tournament his senior year? Never a word was mentioned.

Recruited by Bob Staak, he was a really nice guy. Always wanted things to work out for him at Wake.

I saw Corny dominate Sly Williams (URI) in a game at the now torn down, New Haven Coliseum. Probably Corny's best game ever. Sly played in the NBA for a while. Not sure if Corny ever did.

Without too much detail what happened to Mike Hayes? Had some nice back up moments for the Huskies.

Bob Steinberg from the mid 1960's. A rugged 6'3" guy who sometimes played center and got his fair share of rebounds.

Corny played for Dallas for short while. He actually got in much much better shape but lost shall we say alot of the mass that made him a difficult matchup in college.

Frederick and McCloud, nice ones mau.
Always have been a big Wilson fan. His numbers went down as Hanson Weston...came on board. It happened to others like Chapman and Custick too.

He had a long, successful European career. I remember seeing him play an exhibition game with his championship Euro squad against Magic's Lakers.

Whelton was a scrappy guard with a good shot and a lot of hustle. I read that he coached BB in England. Hrubala had a good jump shot.

Isn't this whole thread an oxymoron? If you've truly forgotton about someone, how the heck do you put them on a list?

People forget about them until their memory is jarred. This happens when you recall the players you never forgot and wonder who their teammates were, and you look them up by googling the roster for the years your known favorites played.
Then you see the other players and now you remember if they entertained you, and they make this list.
In the legal field , this is called "refreshing recollection." You are asked if you remember something, and if you do not, you are shown a document and look at it to see if it refreshes your recollection.
If it does not, it does not, except if it is a business record that you knew about or was from your office, it could be admissible for the trial.
On the BY, sometimes if you have followed the team over the years, the names do come to mind, but usually by connecting them to the years you went to school or by remembering the announcer.
I recall players who played when I went to school. Now see, without cheating and looking at the rosters, I remember Sandy Fishman. A guy off the bench who sometimes started because other players got into foul trouble or were out from injuries.
