Our third in a series honoring our 2019 Hall of Fame, today we would like to highlight San Francisco men's basketball's guard, John "Chubby" Cox. Formal induction ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, Feb. 22, at the Father Hubert "Hub" Flynn Hall of Fame Dinner in War Memorial at the Sobrato Center on the USF campus. The festivities will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by the dinner program at 7:30 p.m. The inductees will also be honored at halftime of the USF-Gonzaga women's basketball game on Feb. 23.
When Chubby Cox arrived on the Hilltop in the fall of 1976 he joined a loaded Dons squad that boasted the uber talented trio of Bill Cartwright, James Hardy and Winford Boynes.
