Eight guys, who all, in their own way, were outcasts or forgotten about. Broken toys, incomplete.
Kyle Vinales. Can you even named Central Connecticut State’s mascot off the top of your head?
Billy Garrett, Jr. A memorable career at DePaul. A cup of coffee with the Knicks. (I’d rather play for the Blue Demons.)
Leron Black. Mr. Tennessee Basketball, and a great Illinois career. Never got to experience a tournament, didn’t have his coming out party until his final season.
Michael Finke. The pride of Champaign, but ended at Grand Canyon with his brother. Never played in a tourney, always had beautiful hair.
