LOU WILL

Lou Will on the Knuckleheads Podcast.. very interesting look at our next Assistant Coach...

He should definitely be in the GA Sports Hall of Fame!

Lou Will was the truth in High School. I believe he's still the all-time leading scorer in Georgia High School history. One of the last players to go from High School to the NBA. Dude was unreal. I forgot the other guard who played with him.

It was hilarious listening to him talk about Dwight.  I don't know what Gwinnett team SW Atlanta Christian played against but Lou said, Dwight started the game with 10 straight dunks...

You know Dwight had to be a man among boys... Hard to believe that Lou got two GA player of the year awards over Dwight.

Yes, Dwight was a bad man also. His point guard Crittendon was serious too. A 6-5  playmaker.

[TRW]

What happened to Felipe Lopez? He was supposed to be the next guy out of New York City. Good list though.

I remember Crittendon.   He was a Wizard.. he was in that Gilbert Arenas thing... I think he eventually got in trouble?=...

 

Rambling wreck from GA Tech.

Too much pressure (IMO). He was OK..

Sad to say, only two names on this list that doesn't ring out:

Levell Blanchard and LaBradford Smith.
