Message: [QUOTE="Horsebrnhil, post: 5307587, member: 14064"] I recall that Lamar's name was linked to UC. Sportswriter, Peter Abraham, then a reporter for the Norwich Bulletin had many names linked to the UC program, during recruiting processes. Kevin Garnet, for one, because of his friendship with fellow South Carolinian Ray Allen, Bill Curley, from Boston area. Calhoun pushed hard for him, another name Abraham had linked to UC, was Massachusetts recruit Chris Herren. Herren didn't make it UC, and fell into drug/alcohol issues, but has come out the other side much better for it, doing work in the rehabilitation field, but that's a story for another day. Abraham now works for the Globe in Boston, as a Red Sox beat reporter, but in the early heady days of the Calhoun era, he had many stories about recruits and recruiting. [/QUOTE]
