Originally posted by wufanI don't know much about Jackson or Wilburn. How did their respective careers turn out?
Not sure what ever happened to Bernard Jackson, but he was a hell of a good player and was an impact player in '82-83 as a freshman but I think that was his only year. I have no idea what happened to him after that.
Gilbert Wilburn was a very good player in the same class, but eventually transferred to New Mexico State where he put up huge numbers and was eventually taken in the NBA draft, although I don't think he ever played in the NBA.

If John Smith hasn't spent time in prison by now, I'd be stunned.
He was a bad person, that hung out with bad people, and made awful decisions. That he didn't kill someone, or got himself killed, is a minor miracle.
He wasn't an awful basketball player, but he was an embarrassment to the University, the city of Wichita and mankind.
I never want to see a person like that in a Shocker uniform ever again.
I don't care if it means we never win another game in any sport.
NEVER again.

There was another player, who came with John Smith in a package deal.
His first name was Boo. Was it Boo Craft? Maybe Kraft.
Shortly after they arrived on campus, they went down south and got into some kind of trouble on the John Mack Bridge. No, I am not making this up, but I might be off on my facts."Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future."

Originally posted by wufanOriginally posted by another shockerOriginally posted by GoShockers89When was the last time we signed the top player at any position from a state like Illinois?
This is excellent, excellent news. Now let's finish off the class with a couple of city league studs.
John Cooper was KC player of the year when he signed in '88?

I didn't go far enough in my pevious post. Players like that may look seemingly slow, but they are not slow, as wuzee pointed out in his previous post. They are smooth/balanced, not herky jerky, and fast. Think Deron Williams when he was at Illinois U.
I think Jackson ended up at Loyola of Chicago and Wilburn at New Mexico or New Mexico State (I think). Both had productive careers at those schools as I recall.Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

I think they stole a car.
This is what happens when someone like Mike Cohen gets hired.

Stealing a car? Stealing a car was baby **** along side of what this dude was doing....nearly killed 20 law officer, driving through people's back yards, knocking down mail boxes.....he got a broad in the car, took her across the state line, & that's a manhunt, and I don't think he got her permission, and that's kidnappin. How's that for high jinxs?
