Mr Hustle. Not the only Hondo from OSU. Frank Howard was also known as Hondo, playing basketball and baseball for the Buckeyes. My
dad's brother was on the OSU team that included Havlicek, Jerry Lucas, Larry Siegfried,and Bobby Knight.

Sorry to hear about Havlicek. Along with Russell he exemplified the Celtics of that era.

He was also drafted in 1962 seventh round (there were 20 then) as an End by the Browns even though he didn't play football at Ohio State.

Boca, also on that Buckeye team that went to three straight NC games was Joe Roberts, who later was assistant coach at WMU under Sonny Means.

Joe was two years older than my Uncle.
