The Red Storm coached by rookie mentor Fran Fraschilla, finished 13-14 overall and 8-10 (tied 4th, Big six division) in Big East play. Prior to the 98 season, Fraschilla noted that Charles “is a punt returner. He’s got great quickness, and he’s going to run a couple back and also fumble a couple. He will get us some easy baskets.”

        Charles then transferred to Quinnipiac where he had one year of eligibility remaining in 2001.

        Quinnipiac coach Joe DeSantis expected Charles to have an all-star season as a senior in 2001. “He’ll get the ball in transition and hopefully take it to the basket for a layup every time. He’ll be the quickest guard in the league.” Charles didn’t disappoint. Charles started 18 of 25 games, playing an average 26.9 ppg. He hit 149-315 (.473) from the field, 30-89 (.337) from the arc, and 110-137 (.803) from the line, while garnering 74 boards (including 14 on the offensive glass and a 3.0 rpg), 62 fouls (fouling out twice), 78 assists (3.1 apg), 81 turnovers (for an asst-to ratio of 1.0), 25 steals, 5 blocks and 438 points, for a ppg of 17.5.

CROFT, BOBBY

6-10 C (TENNESSEE 1968-1970)

        Born Aug. 10, 1947. From Hamilton Hill Park. Legendary coach Stu Aberdeen was instrumental in getting Croft to Tennessee despite the fact that Volunteers coach Ray Mears had noted that “frankly, I had never heard of Canadian basketball players.” Aberdeen became an assistant at Tennessee.

        As a sophomore in 1968, Croft played in 26 games. He hit 89-171 (.520) from the field and 38-57 (.667) from the line, while garnering 137 boards (5.3 rpg), 75 fouls (fouling out 3 times, and 216 points, for a ppg of 8.3. The Volunteers, coached by Ray Mears, finished 20-6 overall and 13-5 (2nd) in SEC play.

        As a junior in 1969, Croft played in 28 games. He hit 166-297 (.559) from the field and 94-142 (.662) from the line, while garnering 250 boards (8.9 rpg), 90 fouls (fouling out twice), 5 assists, and 426 points, for a ppg of 15.2. The Volunteers, coached by Ray Mears, finished 21-7 overall and x in SEC play. The Volunteers defeated Rutgers 61-57 and Ohio 75-64, before losing to Temple 63-58 in the NIT semis. Croft was named all-conference and a member of the NIT all-tourney team.

As a senior in 1970, Croft played in 25 games. He hit 166-332 (.500) from the floor, and 97-147 (.660) from the line, while garnering 241 boards (9.6 rpg), 86 fouls (fouling out three times), 9 assists and 429 points, for a ppg of 17.2. The Volunteers, coached by Ray Mears, finished 16-9 overall. Mears noted a year later that “we have a number of factors goings for us that we’re missing from last year’s 16-9 team – speed, size, quickness, shooting ability, rebounding and depth.” Croft once noted that the game he learned while at Tennessee was entirely different than that played in Canada.

        Croft was selected by Boston in the 8th round (123rd pick overall) of the 1970 NBA draft. Instead, he inked a contract with the fledgling ABA and soon became embroiled in a controversy over whether he’d play for the Dallas Chaparrals, who drafted him a secret ABA draft, or the Kentucky Colonels, where he wanted to play because they were based in Louisville. Croft said Kentucky obtained permission from Dallas to talk to him and that the discussions were approved by the ABA commissioner. “I originally said I would play for the Chaparrals if they gave me $1,000,000 a year and not less. What I meant of course. Was that I did not want to play for Dallas, not that I was manoeuvering for a fast buck or a better deal. Money, is not the basic issue in this matter; rather it is my desire to play for Kentucky, and my acceptance of their fair offer.” He ultimately signed $100,000 three-year deal with Kentucky. In rejecting the Celtics for more money with the Colonels, Croft later said he made “the biggest mistake of my life. (Boston coach Red e,” Croft said later. “Auerbach was known for bringing people along slowly. I would have learned a lot. With the Colonels I was thrown right into it.” Midway through the season, Croft was traded to the Chaparrals for Gene Moore. It was his only season in the pros. He was cut before the start of the next season, had unsuccessful tryouts with other ABA and NBA teams, and then went on to play pro ball in Italy and Mexico.

CYRUS, CASWELL

6-9 C (ST. BONAVENTURE 1997-2000)

        From Etobicoke, Ont. but described himself as a Long Island native “who’s lived in Canada the last few years.” Cyrus averaged 20.0 ppg, 12.0 rpg and 6.0 bpg at West Humber Collegiate. Wasn’t expected to play the post as he was deemed not ready physically, despite his leaping and shotblocking skills.

        As a freshman in 1997, Cyrus started 4 of the 24 games he played, for an average 14.7 mpg. He hit 42-76 (.553) from the floor and 9-20 (.450) from the line, while garnering 88 boards (including 38 on the offensive glass and a 3.7 rpg), 7 assists (0.3 apg), 15 turnovers (0.6 tpg), 4 steals (0.2 spg), 53 blocks (2.2 bpg), 44 fouls and 93 points, for a 3.9 ppg (and a game-high 18).

Over the final eight games of the season, he averaged 9.4 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 3.8 bpg, leading coaches to conclude that the skinny 205-pound forward was slowly finding his mark.

        As a sophomore in 1998, Cyrus started 31 of 32 games, shot 123-246 (.500) from the floor and 84-126 (.667) from the line, while garnering 200 boards (including 79 on the offensive glass and a 6.3 rpg), 93 fouls (fouling out 3 times), 15 assists, 59 turnovers, 99 blocks, 17 steals and 330 points for an average of 10.3 ppg. He was the leading shotblocker in the Atlantic Ten for a 17-15 Bonnies squad, coached by Jim Baron, which finished 6-10 (4th) in Atlantic 10 eastern division play and lost out in the quarterfinals of the postseason tourney. Great defensive instincts who began to show offensive skills as a soph. Against ranked opponents, he averaged 13.8 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.6 bpg and shot .565 from the floor.

        As a junior in 1999, Cyrus started 27 of the 28 games he played, for an average 33.8 mpg.

The Bonnies, coached by Jim Baron, finished 14-15 overall and 8-8 (tied 4th) in Atlantic Ten play. “Now a senior, the Canadian has yet to become anything more than a thin, shot-blocking force with questionable hands. He is blessed with a ton of raw ability but rarely dominates like he should. “A lot of it is constant development,” Baron says. “He has the potential but he has to take that next step. Hard work is the biggest thing but I also think that if we improve collectively as a team, so will Cyrus.” Cyrus seemed to plateau as a junior, although he led the Atlantic 10 in blocks for the third straight season.

        As a senior, Cyrus started 28 of the 30 games he played, for an average 32.9 mpg. He hit 144-289 (.498) from the floor and 71-115 (.617) from the line, while garnering 199 boards (including 71 on the offensive glass and a 6.6 rpg), 19 assists (0.6 apg), 62 turnovers (2.1 tpg), 16 steals (0.5 spg), 52 blocks (1.7 bpg), 79 fouls (fouling out 3 times), and 359 points, for a 12.0 ppg (and a game-high 22).
