Some booms and busts for sure. Sorry to say I remember all too many of these SI issues.
- Rick Mount tore out MU's heart in the '69 NCAA's:

- Tom McMillen was the first cover boy of Letterman Magazine his senior year in high school, not too mention becoming a politician.
- Those that saw the Boston Marathon last week may have seen Bobby Carpenter pushing his daughter who severely injured her spinal cord in a hockey accident and they finished in 4:32.
- Saw Garnett in one of his last HS games at UIC - he was being a huge prick to his coach during the game, but certainly not in the bust category.
- Telfair certainly didn't meet expectations.
- And everyone knows who Steve Taylor's high profile high school teammate was!
Surprised that Jim Ryan was not included in the mix:
