I have to add (and in a way it is hard for me to admit this) a tie for heart and determination....Larry Finch.

I was looking in that picture for DJ somewhere near the floor, and then I saw him way up there like he is sitting in the stands. I really think he jumps down from the rafters.

Hi, I know it's nobody's business really particularly not mine, but just thought I'd ask--what are his plans after college, his major, grad school, etc, if you would know and care to share?

I only ask because I wish him the best. And no, I'm not asking about any potential pro career, though that would be great. I'm only asking about his future in general.

Right now, grad school is a possibility depending on things. His baby is due in Aug. and then Stacie and him will get married (not sure when yet). His major is Sport and Leisure Management. Oh, and he graduates in the Spring.

If he was 6'10 he might not have any knees left by now. He's a special player and person, no doubt.

DJ will always be one of my favorites. Love that kid. Very special player and he has given us so many special moments, most of them unexpected.

I have been a DJ fan since day one. The following post proves it and looking back, Easterwood's response just tickles me to death.

DJ Praise

He amazes me every time ECU plays Memphis. Like Lebo said after the game tonight to the media, it's as if he's on a damn pogo stick out there.

Memphis has been blessed to have d.j.

Great genes.

He's not even the highest leaping Tiger ever...we had this guy in the 1990's...





...that's a 12-ft rim.

Edit...I know this is no secret to my fellow tiger fans...just sharing with the ECU visitor.

Energy, effort, and toughness are what DJ brings to the floor. If all the players can do the same while on the floor, along with valuing possessions (cutting down turnovers), this team would be scary when tourney time rolls around.

I just had a thought. I know, unusual for me, anyway, what if he could have played on the Tiger football team. Could anyone keep us from scoring on a fade route in the end zone? I don't think so !!!

Keith's blocks went down every year. partly due to his weight and knees but also the talent around him. His freshman and soph years were crazy.
