PROVO — Chris Burgess finally arrived on campus and is wearing BYU gear.
Yes, that’s news.
Back in 1996, as the tale goes, Burgess was one of the nation’s top basketball players, certainly one of the most coveted with ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was chased hard and long by BYU coaches Roger Reid and his assistant, the late Lynn Archibald, and no doubt heard the wit and one-liners of Tony Ingle.
But he decided to sign with Duke. Not a bad choice and it hatched a quote he shared with a local newspaper reporter.
