Waymon Tisdale died this morning after a two year battle with cancer. Some may not know that BU recruited him and had him here for a visit before he chose Oklahoma and went on to success in the NBA.
Sad to go at the age of 44.. Godspeed
???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!???

I remember hearing that DV recruited him and was about to post the same thing here. Nice post Braveman.... Tisdale was a ton at Oklahoma....

He was one of my all time favorite players. I am about the same age as him and remember Bradley recruiting him. It was the days before all the internet recruiting services. It was very exiting to hear we were after a Parade All-American. Coach Versace used to really build up how close we were to getting recruits. I thought he was one of the most dominant college players I had seen. In the pro's I think he was a little small for the position/style of game he played. He was still a good NBA player.I have never heard his music. He is pretty well respected from people who do listen to that kind of music.
I kind of forgot why I used to like him. When they have been running stories on him on ESPN, and I see how positive he is and his big grin it makes me really sad to hear he is gone. I hope some other players can pick up on that positive outlook on life he had. RIP.

For all 4 seasons that Jim Les played for the Sacramento Kings (1990-91 through 1993-94) Wayman Tisdale was a teammate with him on the Kings. 1993-94 was the last year with Sacramento for both players. Tisdale was a regular starter for the Kings those years, while Jim Les started a few games, but mostly came off the bench. I am sure that many of Jim's career assists went to Tisdale.

I don't follow the NBA that much either Mob. What I do remember is Tisdale playing against UIUC as a Freshman (I believe) and absolutely dominating them even while being triple teamed. It was a fun game to watch and I liked Tisdale from then on.
