It seems like they have quite the talent coming out of there year after year.

Didn't know he was there, kind of cool.

Very cool and good for Cookie.  We have been recruiting football players from IMG, perhaps the door should be open for basketball talent as well.

Tyron Lue's cousin.

Cookie looks like a baller, still. Loved his time with Nebrasketball... really great work by Segado Belcher. Now, Coach Belcher.

Cookie is easily one of my all time favorite Husker hoopsters....in case you care

So does this mean we're going to pluck Trevon Duval from Kansas, as well?

*Tyronn.

 

Also, I believe that they are second cousins if we are really splitting hairs

If you lurk around at other Big XII hoops message boards - especially Kansas, KSU and Missouri boards they'll agree with you.  He was a consensus favorite Husker hoopster around the league at least in more recent times.

I mean, he is the most decorated and celebrated Husker basketballer of all time.  I think that warrants the correct spelling of his name.

Hard not to respect a no-nonsense guy that plays lock-down defense and leads a team without demanding a lot of personal accolades.  Plus, he went by the name Cookie Belcher.  I would think that he has one of the most entertaining names in college basketball history.  Way better food reference than Tacko Fall.  Less sexual-sounding than Fat Lever or Magic Johnson.  Not as blasphemous as God Shammgod...

Lafayette Lever...one of my favorite Nuggets of all time...

[49r]

I mean, sure, you can have your Carmelo and Iverson and even your Dikembe Nuggets...but give me Fat Lever and Alex English any day.

RIP Darryl Dawkins.  Somewhere in the afterlife, Chocolate Thunder and Craig Sager are busy stunting on each other to see who has the more colorful wardrobe.

 

But Chocolate Thunder is purely a nickname, administered by Stevie Wonder.  Because Dawkins dunked so hard Wonder could feel it
