Sad to say I don't remember seeing this, thanks!

I saw him in one of his first games at Carolina and it took about a minute with the ball in his hands to know he was a special player.

There were mentions of this on various Gamecock boards. I cannot be absolutely sure that this was one of them, but I would be surprised if it was not.

Played a couple of pick-up games with him down at the PE center. He was a magician with the ball! If you were on his team and not paying attention, you could easily have been hit in the face with one of his deceptive assist passes.

He specialized in looking the other way when he passed. It was his trademark. Sad period during his career, in a way. You could see the life oozing out of the McGuire program post-ACC. It was obvious.

A sad sad time for GC MBB. Used to gripe about leaving that soon to be hopefully has been conference BUT look where it got us eventually. We can now pay back ACCers by looking down our nose at them.

McGuire will never deserve the outcome he got, however.

You and I assuredly played against one another at some point. And, yes, Gilloon broke my ankles on more than one occasion....
