I’m surprised he didn’t try to get on with Hoftstra’s program, his alma mater. But cool, he’s got a scouting job. He’s my envy now lol

As a current Hofstra student I am proud of the name he gave to my university. I got to see him last February at a Hofstra game. He’s a good guy, but quiet. Being a scout fits him perfect, he is not the coaching type.

You really go to Hofstra man? You originally from LI?

[knicksfan7Participant]

Magikknick. I do go to Hofstra, and I am from LI. Why are you??

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Yup, Im like 30 minutes away from Hofstra’s campus..

BTW you know a kid named Jamaul Boswell, played football at Hofstra? Think he transferred cuz they shutdown the FB program, but you know him?

And im going into my Sr. year of HS, Hofstras one of the schools im trying to get an eye from..

[knicksfan7Participant]

Yes they did shut down the football program, but that name does not ring a bell. I knew a few guys who were on the team. What HS are you going to?? Feel free to send me an email, if you have any questions about the school.

Speedy. Weird career. Didn’t do much but got a ring and maaaaaad money. Ridiculously nice before he got hurt in college.

[knicksfan7Participant]

Yeah, Speedy had a 42 inch vertical to go along with skills. If he hadn’t hurt his knee before (during the summer before) his rookie year, he may still be playing. When he played he served as a good role player.
