To those attending a university, do you have any classes with or see star athletes on campus?

as my jaw dropped. Dude looked like a grown $%% man in high school though, EVERYBODY knew he was goin to the league for either basketball or football

Actually I think her jaw dropped

I went to high school with David Jones TE for Lsu in the early 2000s and Falorin Campbell who played on George Mason during their magical final 4 run

Now I go a CC and see no1

. I mean it is what it is, they just people. The rest of the campus doesn't seem to OD when they see em on campus either, athletes usually post up by the chik fil a or somethin most of the day anyways

I had class with a current St Johns Basketball player, not gonna throw his name out there but he would come into class half way through with like 3 meals ofburger king for himself, sit in the front of the class eat obnoxiously loud and then ask some of the most ignorant questions ever..only reason that class wasfun

...btw your favorite college stars are on that

during the off season

 

[stay lurkin]

Didn't know you were from LA.

Agent Zero transferred to Grant HS for his senior year.

I went to a commuter school, with no athletes coming out of it for undergrad

Finally going to start my grad program next fall at SC, I doubt I will see anyone there

I have worked for the Athletic Dept the past 3 years, I'm always on campus so I see a lot of the guys all the time. Sometimes, I wish I would've gotsome %!#@ signed from them especially Rey, Cush, Sanchez, Maiava, etc. It feels weird though, 'cause you see them as your peers, so I don't.

Looking back, I wish I had been given a piano instead of a basketball... or both. Even from all the comments in here, being an athlete does not encourageintelligence, it seems, and I would much rather have that over sports.

I go to Illinois. A couple months back the school had an alumni banquet and I saw Deron Williams outside a pizza joint here, took a pic with him and offeredhim a breadstick. I've also seen Demetri McCamey (starting Guard for Basketball) around, and Mike Tisdale (starting Center for Illinois) lives in myapartment complex, I've seen him twice, he's huge

 

[airmaxpenny1]

My school is trash at sports, I see them dudes all the time but I don't even think twice about it. I mean our football team was prolly one of the worst D-1schools in the country.

 

[memphisboi55]

Went to UNC back in the days, had math with Jordan. Dumb as rocks.

Most of them really don't need too, they got tutors basically giving them the answers which help em keep the academics on lock

Going to UMD... seeing athletes is regular for me.

I was in the summer program for athletes, back when i played baseball for UMD. The whole class of '11 in football, basketball, and lacrosse are my peoples.

Vasquez is the only "star" on campus.. dude is a ******. everybody else is just another face in the crowd.

I appreciate all of yall who are name dropping.

This thread is great.

When I went to UK I had a class in the same building as Andre Woodson and would pass him from time to time and I always used to see Jodie Meeks, Joe Crawford,and Perry Stevenson walking around campus. Nobody really made a big deal about them, just told them good game or somethin.

 

[shaq diesel 34]

At St. Johns I'd see the players all the time. Even went to this part at Anthony Mason Jr's apt.. don't wanna talk about that though, ahaha.

At University of Buffalo I see the players around, but they're nothing to talk about.

i was in high school with UCLA's starting right tackle Xavier Su'a-filo...

had a couple of classes with him, got to be pretty good friends
