Life @ Vincennes JC Back in the Dayz ...

Some of the old timers will recall this era...

I was just informed by a fellow Syc Alum that ISU's Gordon Stauffer was fairly confident that McAdoo was coming to Terre Haute, that is, until the "Dean" of NCAA coaches near his NC backyard entered the picture! Can you imagine what Stauffer's team would've looked like during McAdoo's final season, if...

Which is a cautionary tale with regard to recruiting against a Power 5 conference......hard to do. They (Power 5 schools)
can swoop in late and negate months of recruiting work.

hmmm.... given that McAdoo's own mother tipped off Smith; given that McAdoo was from Greensboro... given that he only spent 1 season in Chapel Hill

there's zero chance McAdoo would have spent 2 seasons in Terre Haute

Hmmm...you need to do your homework. How many college players left early for the NBA back then? Besides, who in their right state of mind would project EQUAL development patterns @ ISU & NC?

Bob McAdoo's trip to Dean Smith's funeral about loyalty, respect

Bob McAdoo had conflicting guidance from his parents about leaving UNC early, but Dean Smith put his future in perspective.

to paraphrase the great Chevy Chase... Bunksh*t, you ignorant slut...

always interesting you tell people to do their homework, yet you fail, time and time again to complete your homework.

mcadoo was in the first NBA draft in which a college kid could declare "hardship" and leave early; hopefully he thanked Spencer Haywood for battling the NBA, allowing Bob to ca$h in a year early

depending on when the "modern NBA" is defined. 7 or so players left college early before McAdoo, add in the "blacklisted players" and it's closer to 10

McAdoo was leaning towards UCLA and the teachings of the Great John Wooden (Dean Smith couldn't hold Wooden's jock much less his rolled program)

McAdoo's father is sick, Smith calls and he's in Chapel Hill not Westwood
