Closest thing to CA JUCO Rockstar of last 40 yrs; 2X all-state/Nike Camp. Natural #HSFB player (6-5/220/10.7) pic.twitter.com/NFyAQDsJYB
That name brings back a lot of good memories. Watching those teams at the Huntsman as a kid was so much fun. I even remember making a sign that said “look out above, look out beneath. Here comes Brandon, here comes Keith”. It’s sad to hear of him passing.
Played in the maui and beat michigan (and one other big name program) in that recruiting class’s first season. Jesse was a favorite of mine. Sad to hear.
Not sure if the Utes have been to a Maui Invitational since then. Is it still a thing? I remember Bobby Knight post game saying, ” Doleac??? Where does Rick find these guys?”
