Lots of good guesses and one is correct...

6-3,
played at Simeon in Chicago
All-CPL as a senior in Chicago
"wore #25 to honor Ben Wilson" according to his bio..

we are talking Kerry Burrell, 1993-1994 was his freshman year and he stayed four years at BU.

Here's a new one,. since you got that one so fast...
I am going to pick a guy that's a little more obscure.........
(and as an initial hint, I am not getting this guy's info from the same press guide...)

Who am I?
--"Chicagoland" kid who was a popular player
(more clues to follow)

It was the popular player quote that stumped me. Popular to who? I was there from 83-87 and do not remember him. There were a lot of bench layers and DV loved to play them whenever he had a chance but Kerry Burrell??? Was he a walk on?

Kerry was a Molinari recruit who was a comtemporary of Anthony Parker and Aaron Zobrist. He was more of a defensive specialist, but he had a bit of an offensive game.
IMO he was a favorite of the fans because he worked hard and overachieved, similar to a JJ Tauai.
