Message: [QUOTE="CTFIRERETIRED, post: 2614563, member: 1282"] Love the old commentw here. Soup was a great player for the Friars. Smooth. Point forward before the term was even invented. As to even connsidering UC.? That was a pipe dream. As we all know any talent from Connecticut high schools never considered Storrs. UCONN was in the last few years of the Yankee Conference, and the early stages of the ECAC. In other words....................Not good enough. Players like Soup, Sly, Super John, Jiggy, John Garris, et.al. barely gave UC a sniff. It was more exciting to play for PC, URI, HC, BC, The Cuse, UCLA, etc. I recall seeing Soup at the 1974 or 75 NIT. His game was so different. Never thought a 6-9 player could handle the ball, and shoot from the outside like he did. HIs play even predated Magic Johnson. Yup, sad day. RIP Soup. [/QUOTE]
