Re: Forgotten names of the past.

[John Hall]

David Evans turned into a pretty good off-guard for Colorado St., but even
then he wouldn't play ahead of Field, Bobbitt or Nick Williams. Darrick
Ford for whatever reason turned out to not be a D-I player. Mike Harris
was like Kareem, but slightly smaller - he might play a bit. Jacobs at his
best would probably play 10 minutes a game on this year's team. I remember
how fun it was to see him throw his weight around!
