I lived in a dorm with Soul. He was a really nice guy. My friends and I made a TV show for the campus TV station (UCTV). Soul was in one of the episodes for about 5 aeconds.

I think he is the ex player I see at more games at gampel than anyone else. Awesome news.

The strip of Elton Brand and made hook shot in the 1999 title game will always be etched in my brain.

I always loved him running up the court and yelling after he scored on that play.

Surprised it took this long...what happened to the old guy?

Classic player. Great to watch. I forget, help me here, was it Senior night were he went nuts for about 20 points? And yes, running down court screaming. Again, great to watch, a true fan favorite.

I thought he had royal blood and was a Senegalese prince or something? Doesn't mean he can't be a French teacher in Lowell. It's just interesting.

He becomes the second most famous athlete to represent the Hilltoppers.

Tom Bergeron? And it's not the Hilltoppers, it's the Hillies.

Also one of my all-time favorite plays, Edmund actually stripped it from Brand and Souley did the rest.

I hate to be that guy, but technically it was Ed Saunders who stripped Brand. But I gave you a like because that's Wane's signature play as a Husky.

That gives me an idea...name some role players and their signature plays. Like the aforementioned Ed Saunders and his tomahawk dunk versus Arizona!
