This guy should have been a football player, rather than a basketball player. A graduate of Wake-Forest, LaRue was the first athlete in school history and second in the ACC to play three sports (football, basketball and baseball) in the same year (1994-95). As a quarterback, he broke eight NCAA passing and total offense records. The guy has never been drafted. Nobody is really excited about this guy, but I ain't going to start hating until I actually see his game tonight and if anything in his game "developed" from being in the development league all these years. Hopefully he can help refute claims that general management is trying to throw the season on purpose for either gambling money or for better draft lottery position by passing up on more talented free agent point guards like Brevin Knight or Tierre Brown. For those that are curious: Larue's NBA comeback with the Jazz http://www.nba.com/jazz/chat/transcript_larue_020305.html His former NBDL team http://www.nba.com/nbdl/asheville/larue_040301.html His Stats http://www.nba.com/nbdl/asheville/stats/index.html His profile page http://www.nba.com/nbdl/players/rusty_larue.html His Official Website (LOL!) http://www.rustylarue.com/
LaRue should do a decent job for the Warriors, he did work with the best while he played in Utah. On him picking the NBA over the NFL, I think Charlie Ward did the wrong thing on picking the NBA over the NFL. But LaRue playing all three sports in college, thats amazing, who has that much time, he must of never partied or anything, but practice and study. And where did you get the two national championships?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting spark22:</div><div class="quote_post"> And where did you get the two national championships?</div> I must have meant Championship Bulls. And as far as the NCAA thing went I should have realized that Wake Forest doesn't even have a title. I was assuming Rusty was at least around when Tim Duncan was around because that was when the Deacons were probably at their best and he'd get more attention because of it. Thanks for correcting me though.
You saying something about the Bulls made me think of something, has anyone played with more legends than him? Think about it Tim Duncan in college, MJ and Scottie in Chicago, Stockton and Malone in Utah.
I would like to hope that one of the current warriors becomes a legend and that will add to his list of legends he's played with. I'm wishful.
