I attended the University of Cincinnati in the early eighties after graduating from Cincinnati LaSalle HS. I left in '83 to start a family and work full time. I followed the Bearcat basketball team half-heartedly through the eighties watching Jelly Jones and Roger McClendon.
I attended the very first game at the Shoe against Minnesota, and have been hooked on the basketball program completely since then. I became interested in the HS recruiting scene in 1993 when the Cats recruited and signed Flint, Wingfield, Burton, Julson and Wolf and I have followed the Bearcat recruiting scene ever since.
With the advent of the internet and Keith and Brett's fine website, I finally had a place to share this hobby with others. Thanks to them both for allowing me to join in on their fun !
I am currently employed by GE Capital in Mason and presently single. I have a son who turned 13 in April 2000. He can beat me on the basketball court on a regular basis. I am a big basketball fan and enjoy following USA Basketball, the NBA (especially Phil Jackson), former Bearcats playing overseas and of course, watching my son shoot like Oscar, pass like Nicky, jump like Melvin and drive to the hoop like KSat. Defensively though, he stops opponents like a tree stops a flood, but is improving every day.
