SPECIAL FEATURE
I just discovered one of the most notable achievements in Lafayette basketball history, one I completely missed when it happened. It's time to set that right.
A while ago, I was trying to find out more about the shot-blockers
Samuel Davis was passing on his way up the career leader board. I wondered if any of them had been selected in the pro draft, so I checked out the draft lists.

Do you see what I missed?
Our James Sanders was picked in the second round of the pro draft!
I'm sure I got an email telling me this back in the spring of 2016, but I must have missed it. Now
Big Colonel can take his rightful place as the first of
Graham Sims' players to hear his name called on Draft Night.
I'll update his Senior Tribute, too. Sorry about that, big man.
