Pull a Deacon athlete's name out of your butt thread

Dan Mullinax - basketball and track (shot put)
 
Steve Warden. Basketball, mid 80s.

I remember 2 things about Steve. One, Carl Tacy subbed in Warden when he was a freshman to shoot free throws for David Toms with like 30 seconds left in a game against Ga Tech. Apparently, for some unknown reason, Tacy asked Toms to fake an injury so he could get him out of the game and let Warden shoot the 2 foul shots even though Warden was just a freshman. It was bizarre. And Warden missed both and we lost by 1 point. It seemed like Tacy was losing his mind and his staff and players and he was gone a couple weeks later.

The other thing I remember about Steve Warden is that after college - and I think he and I were the same class - I was in Krispy Kreme in Charlotte on Independence late one night like a year after graduating and I saw Warden in there and he was the manager of that Krispy Kreme.
 
Did anyone mention MY BOY Todd Hendley? Was always sad he transferred to UNCW.

Also, Jeremy Ingram was another transfer I liked. He threw down some vicious dunks against us when we played ECU over winter break the 3-13 season after cp3 left.

Mentioned both. Todd and Viss were on my hall freshman year, and Ingram roomed with CP. #ClassoftheFinest
 
I've mentioned him on this board before, but D'angelo Solomon. He was part of the group that laid the "foundation". We went to the Aloha Bowl the year after he left.
 
Kellen Brantley. Big hitting linebacker. He and Caron Bracey could bring da wood on the early Grobe teams.
