While you were down in Champaign screwing around and drinking and doing whatever you did, old Marky Mark was on his first job in radio, which was in Peoria, Illinois.

So I had the privilege to cover what was, honest to God, Peoria was the pipeline in those Lon Kruger years.

So I got to cover Sergio McClain and Frankie Williams

Marcus Griffin.

Marcus Griffin at all those great Peoria schools.

We're talking about Sean Livingston, who was a Peoria Central guy.

But yes, Sergio McClain on that particular roster.

You had, let's see, Jerry Hester.

Was a senior that year.

Jared was, I was, I was going back and forth.

Jerry G or Jerry G. It was Jerry G. And then he was, he started his college career as Jerry and he ended it as Jared.

So he kind of had a transformation during that, but had a really good year there.

Brian Johnson was on that team.

Yeah, man.

Turner out of Simeon was kind of, you know, it kind of been low profile for a few years and really emerged that year as a, as a big time scorer for that team.

Another guy that – I also worked in Springfield.

I believe Victor Chuck Woodaby was – Chukwudabe.

I knew that.

Victor Chukwudabe, Brody, arrived in Champaign as part of my dorm floor.

Really?
