Message: [QUOTE="karstenkibbe, post: 5356420, member: 4139"] Sheffer was up in Storrs for a few days this week (solid Dom Amore piece in the Courant about his visit) and is spending the weekend in Stamford as the scholar-in-residence at my synagogue. I spent some time talking to him after morning services today. We talked about both the Mississippi State and UCLA losses, but he wanted to hear more about my son’s pre-college gap year experience so far in Jerusalem. Incredibly humble, soft spoken, learned guy who turned his personal battle with cancer into a lifetime mission to inspire and help people be their best versions of themselves. He remains close with Ray Allen (and Ollie). Sheffer and Ray did some great things together in that UConn backcourt, including those three straight Big East regular season titles, but the impact both have had outside of basketball is equally remarkable and makes me proud to be a lifelong UConn men’s basketball fan.
