College: Wagner University

Coaches Notes:

Garrett is the foundation of the Cavalier basketball program. He was four year starter and truly a shinning star all four years. Garrett helped to start and build this blossoming tradition of greatness at College Park. He was also the meanest, cheapest player I may have coached and always liked it a bit more physical. Garrett preferred to initiate the contact especially on the offensive end. It is great to know that he will go beat up on guys his own size and not the JV players anymore. Garret will be remembered for his toughness and grit that has become synonymous with Cavalier Basketball. - Coach McNeely

Coaches Notes:

Billy was with out a doubt one of the most driven players I have ever coached.
I'm not sure where he was driving to at times but never the less he was a jack of all trades for the Cavaliers. Billy played every position on the floor and was a match up nightmare for our opponents. Billy had a knack for coming up with the big rebound or steal when we needed it the most and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time when the game was on the line. - Coach McNeely

Kirk was an outstanding player for the Cavaliers. Kirk wanted to be successful and believed in himself and what we were doing.
