Pumper Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Mostly unrelated side note. Pretty famous Waltrip alum, although much older; graduated in about 1983, none other than..."The Undertaker" of pro wrestling fame. Real name Mark Calaway. Played college basketball before becoming a wrestler.
freeze 1914 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Posted April 15, 2013 [quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1393702" timestamp="1365783365"]YES, it was true!! He was 20 years old at the time and was a teammate of then Duke freshman William Avery, when they were featured as juniors at Oak Hill Academy, TWO years prior to his arrival at Waltrip..He was declared ineligible during the 98-99 season. [/quote] so that 98 championship still counted or was it forfeited?

That was how coaches and recruiters thought a couple of decades ago. Boy, how times have changed. smh
