Baron Munchhausen was a famous 18th Century bull**** artist. Hence the syndrome.

That was never Sharpe. Sharpe ended up falling asleep in a parking lot in the Philippines; his team declared him a disgrace to Filipino basketball and cut him.

Davis' recruit was named Isaiah Harris, from the Chicago area. He had some interesting self-promotion going with UCLA and others hot to sign him (the stories always mis-spelled the same words, so I'm guessing he wrote them himself) and Davis fell for it. When Haase took over he very gently announced that Harris was going in a different direction; he ended up playing a couple games for a lower-level school in Hawaii so at least he got a trip out of it, and had a short stint at Mississippi Valley.

Gene fell for one too, but that was in the pre-Internet days. A 7-footer who turned out to be about 6-6 and awkward.

Isaiah Jones? It took me a second to convince myself I wasn't crazy here.

Isiah "Hoopy" Jones had some difficulties unrelated to basketball and was encouraged to seek opportunities elsewhere. He actually played here, very briefly.

Those are some thicc @$$ boys

Ok, that would make sense. I couldn't find anything on an Isaiah Harris, that's where my confusion was coming from.

I was in high school back around that time and that’s when I really got into keeping up with recruiting. Started lurking on here. Big Dee would remember all of that recruiting stuff like it was yesterday.

We’re 2.0 pt favorites. I figured we’d come in as underdogs.

BigDee was a great source for recruiting info, spelling errors and all.

Free throws. Sigh.
