In a sense he should be saluted as a pioneer. I believe Tom Hawkins was the first and only African American BB player before Bob (and Dwight Murphy IIRC) enrolled. (Olson pointed out Larry Sheffield and some early FB players).

Many of the all-time Irish greats (Austin Carr, Adrian Dantley, Sid Catlett, Collis Jones + many more) followed him to ND.

As I recall, Bob had a very successful post_BB career at IBM.

Plus he picked us over Michigan.
