10-2-23 ISB Radio with Jim Coyle: Greg Rakestraw, Dustin Dopirak and big hoops recruiting news with Rivals.com Rob Cassidy

I was eagerly looking forward to your show this morning but there is no link on this website today. Looking forward to getting your take on what is happening in the athletic department this week.
 
Boogie Is the best of the there, JMO. He is a prototypical UK guy tho, that scares me. Monster get for us if we land Boogie.
Plus, we need a guy named Boogie on the team. Not since Bootsy White and Bubbles Harris have we had really good nicknames.

Bootsie White was White’s real name, ironically a Black man seen photographed erroneously as a White John Ritter on the official IU roster site. Both James “Bubbles” Harris and Bootsie teamed together in the backcourt during the ‘70-71 season. Bootsie was only 5’-8”. I remember watching another Lou Watson player, Harry “Butch” Joyner from New Castle. Let us never forget Emmett “Branch” McCracken’s best shooter, James “Jimmy” Rayl, aka, the “Splendid Splinter” from Kokomo.

Back in the day, everyone had a nickname.
