True story… when I got offered by University of Maryland I never wanted the coaches coming to my house. I was embarrassed by our living situation. Lights cut off, barely food in the crib and I damn sure didn’t want a roach running across the floor lol. So every time they asked, I went to campus instead.
PG County was rough in the late 80’s and 90’s. We had just had a shootout in our neighborhood. Coming out of high school I was the #1 player in the DMV and a lot of big names were leaving the area, but staying home meant everything to me.
I had a lot of offers… but there was really only one choice.
I think things turned out alright… HOF!!!! 💯
