Pierre Cooper question

I have an obscure question. When I was young one of the recruits I was most excited about was Pierre Cooper. He ended up having a blood disorder and never played. I think I remember that he graduated and I was proud that Bradley honored his scholarship and he graduated. I was was just wondering if anyone knows what ever happened to Pierre?

I just saw the post on Patrick Cooper and for some reason it made me wonder about Pierre Cooper. I am getting old.
 
I got to know Pierre quite well in his time at BU and got to met his family also-- and he was indeed a fine young man who ended up graduating with a Business Administration degree and doing well in life..
he took over a struggling record sales business and turned it into a success and is actually now considered a world-wide expert in blues records and hip-hop....

BTW -- the unusual medical condition Pierre had was thoroughly researched and the results were published in a scientific journal and even compared to the few other known examples of extremely well conditioned athletes who developed blood clots without any other clear cause, then ended their careers.
One other such player was Notre Dame All American John Shumate...
