One of the most interesting stories I found when looking up the players was that of numer 28 ranked Loyd Price who has tragically been in and out of trouble with the law throughout his college career.

If anybody knows where any of the players that are listed as NA please let me know and I will update it.

I know lloyd price personally and he just got married a couple yrs ago and has a daughter. he is doing well but isnt playing basketball competitively anymore. And I just got finished playing in a leauge with desmond herod. he is still the same person...same bad attitude. some people never learn

Damn, Des Herod is a name I haven't thought about in years. I expected some big things from him at UNLV; he was a pretty good shooter and all-around scorer. Unfortunate he left for whatever reason, I thought he could've been a stud here in Vegas. I can still hear the Rebel announcer:

"THREE...POINT...GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL.....DES HEROD."

78) Schea Cotton (Junior) (Long Beach City JC/Alabama) (ABA: Long Beach Jam)

Schea Cotton was ranked so low in 98?

 

[KJay]

isn't Boschee coaching now?

 

[kansasalumn]

yes Boschee is coaching Barstow School in KC. He hired Jaron Rush as an Assistant, but that fell though. I think Rush is a coach somewhere now

yeah he is pretty much the smae player. but his attitude is sooo bad. He never wanted to come out of games always complained. I can see why he didnt make it. He told me he just got done playing over seas

last i heard he was a drug and alcohol counselor (seriously!!!)

 

[coolpohle]

Wow, Ronald Curry was #6? Crazy how someone could be a pro basketball and a pro football player.
