Wolo said on postgame that they had his funeral yesterday. Sad

He could jump.

I have fond memories of him and the years he played. Did he have a nickname? Seems like Big Jack gave all those guys cool nicknames. RIP and prayers for the family.

Anything online about his passing?

I’m sad to hear this.

me too

Sad to hear. A fun Tiger to watch.

Loved watching Hank and Dennis play together.. RIP.

No doubt. Used to have the school record for blocks at 61 until Keith Lee came along. Helluva athlete.

I remember the "Jump Ball" play we used with him at the opening tap .... More times than not it ended up with Bell getting a dunk .... an awesome way to start the game with a 2-0 Tiger lead !!!
