Recently Robert greg the a lot younger than 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:11.840 you though. 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:12.160 Yeah. 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.600 So when when I got there, a Twine Barbara won 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:15.960 National Junior College mv P. 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.920 So when he won m v P that specific. 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.280 Yeah, he was supposed to leave and go to the 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.960 league because look, you had three junior college guys that 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:25.840 could have went to the league. Well actually two of 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.400 them actually went, Kedrick Brown and quincel Wood. 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:29.760 Yeah, he was. 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.800 He was on that draft board too, mimber of mock draft. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.560 They still got the Okay, so the mock draft he was. 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.080 He was on that draft board. He came back to school. 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.600 So when he came back to school, he got everybody 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.200 coming to the schools. I'm talking about Michigan State, I'm 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.240 talking about all the big boys schools. 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:46.760 Uh. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.520 And so when he was he was getting all that notoriety. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:55.360 During that time, Oklahoma State was recruiting, and so when 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.040 they was recruiting, you know how at that time, they 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:58.960 couldn't really talk to you. They couldn't say nothing to you. 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.520 They'll try to get your He tried to do all 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.359 that extra ship. Hell, one time he was winking at 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:05.040 me like, I'm like. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:20.720 Paul, because that was my man, but you did that 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.600 for so when he did that, it was like damn, 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:26.840 I'm like all right, But he got to be interesting 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.080 because he's trying to get my attention. And so whenever 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.359 when all the smoke Clip, that's why I Barbara went 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.360 to Kentucky so boom. 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.919 By him staying got me that notoriety, I believe. I 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.880 always say that. And when we used to I used 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:41.359 to be playing against me and him used to go 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:42.960 at it. Bro I ain't gonna let we go edit 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.919 one on one five on five. We're playing five on 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.520 five looked like one on one because we're going at 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:49.880 each other. 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:51.040 But it made us. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.520 It made us, like I said, iron, we end up 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.920 losing in the National Junior College champion not Championship final four. 0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.680 And then once more, like I said, when smoke Clip 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:05.640 had Creighton, Cincinnati, uh Arizona State. 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:07.960 In Oklahoma State. 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.480 What made you put like to the Oklahoma State though? 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:15.040 Being from Chicago, like, I think you probably picked Cincinnati somewhere. 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:19.440 Of those, I didn't want to go since that. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.320 But you know who they picked who they signed Tony Bobby. 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:24.800 He was nice there too, He's nice. 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:27.480 So when they picked up Tony Bobby, I'm like, no, 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.520 I'm straight and I didn't want to go on the 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.240 West Coast, and it was like crating. I'm like, whoever 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.239 went to the league, you could have warned that have 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:47.639 been tough. Oh yeah, cool guy, you never got a 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:53.720 bucket on me.
