    It's cool to see some of the articles about McCalebb and his play for Macedonia nowadays. He's a massive star there and plays for their national team. He's been profiled by a few big outlets

    Bo McCalleb would be one of the big ones of the modern era. And, Ryan Francis who committed to us and then signed with Tim Floyd at USC. He was subsequently murdered in Baton Rouge.

    Boomer, this is a great start to 2014 ... I totally understood your post! And can respond ... the LC kid was Edmund Lawrence, yes, very, very close to a 7 footer ... I played against him in high school; not very well I might add.

    And Edmund had a younger brother, Kenneth, who also was a good player, around 6'7", also to Ryan Street High (I believe).

    Johnny Collins instead of Joe Dumars. That would be a Paschal signee, IIRC.

    Boomer, when you were coaching and recruiting did you hit 100% on every kid? Did any that you wanted ever sign elsewhere? Did any that you passed on turn out to be good or even great players for some other team?

    Another question for recruiters. How often does one miss on a guy and he ends up struggling for the place he ends up at. I bet it happens often but it was not the case with McCaleb. Bo McCaleb story is that Robert Lee was recruiting him when he was an assistant to Jessie Evans. Someone else was recruiting a kid from California. When the kid from California committed we were full at that position and withdrew the offer to McCaleb. He went on to UNO where he had a great career. Of course in that time the Privateers rarely beat the Cajuns. Turns out that the kid from California never showed up as he did not become academically eligible. He played JUCO ball and then D1 ball out on the West Coast. Coach Lee always maintained he would have taken McCaleb over the California kid but it was Jessie's decision back then.

    Sam Houston in Moss Bluff. I measured up just above his waist! Our 6'-3" center did block one of his dunk attempts during one of our games!

    Edmund Lawrence would have been a nice Cajun player.
