    We got back to NC over a week ago, but then immediately had 6 teenage grandkids and their parents, 9 all together, here for a week. Then recuperation for these old bones. :)

    But hi all.

    Chris Martin. As I recall he verbaled to Notre Dame, then switched to California, then transferred to Florida. He is now transferring to an unknown destination again.

    So far he had to sit out one year for the transfer to Florida, now unless he goes to a lower division school he will have to sit out another year. So far this guy, who is supposed to be an incredible talent, hasn't seen the field in college.

    Also if you remember Lobster Willie, he is now in jail.

    Anyway hi all.

    Chris Martin is a nut case, he is immensely talented physically but he's blowing it. It started in HS when he transfered from his original HS to someplace in Denver or Arz I forget. Then the multi-college transfer and he's deep into waisting his career.

    Lobster Willie...I can't think of his real name but I know who you are talking about. He was a hoot! Too bad he was another talented kid who couldn't get his act together.

    I believe his name is Willie Williams.

    Another talent wasted.
