To those attending a university, do you have any classes with or see star athletes on campus?

On my mama Gary had some of the BEST hoopers in the state...if them dudes had the drive to go to college,I swear it would be CRAZY famo.

I see players on campus daily... My girl's roomate gets smashed by our star ball player.
Do i see them in class tho? Nah, I'm not a sociology or comm major.

EDIT: My dude Arthur will be in the NFL come April

.

That's word, you see dudes everywhere
I have a friend who's on the basketball team, he's not that big of a deal to me

I go to the University of Pittsburgh and its common to see star athletes around. I've been in different classes with Shady McCoy and Ronald Ramon. Iremember Dejuan Blair from high school, he played for Schenley, which played my school a few times a year. When he was at Pitt it wasn't unusual to see himaround, usually at the gas station or some other random place. When I was younger I used to see Brandon Knight and Karl Krauser pretty often. My boy Kev isgood friends with people from Pitt's football team, so I've seen Revis, Eric Thatcher a while ago and Jovani Chappel + some lesser known players thissemester.

Pitt Vs. Cincinnati tomorrow at 12.
LETS GO PITT!

No one asked for your opinion on the thread.
You can't even spell.

) was like "What is it James?" dude was like "nothing leave me alone...." and I swear to you this was her response "do you want me to suck your ___) I went

as my jaw dropped. Dude looked like a grown $%% man in high school though, EVERYBODY knew he was goin to the league for either basketball or football

That one always takes away the anger, you wouldnt even remember why was you mad in the first place word to Kat Williams.

LOL that's funny. I go to SJSU and during my freshman year I used to be with James Jones alot around campus and in the gym cause one of myfriends plays football. I used to be with Dwight Lowery all the time too. He's a cornerback playing for the Jets I think? but he's mad cool....this wasback in like 2006....our football team is trash now but I know a few of the hoopers just from high school and mutual friends....they're nothing specialreally...

Male groupies at this school are ridiculous though

Yea tell me about it

All of yall dudes sound like mini groupies though

For real. "My cousins dad's grandfather's niece's son who went to pre-k with my sister lived in Michael Vick's old dorm"

Never heard of some the connections yall got to these dudes

 

[langfor5]

Went to KU so I knew all those knuckleheads. Soph. year lived right down the hallway from Aqib Talib. He would always come over and play video games and drink.Cool dude.

Junior year lived right across the hallway from the basketball team. They are treated pretty much like Gods in Lawrence. After Rio hit the shot against Memphishe didn't have to pay for a single meal in Lawrence after that. Anyways I became pretty good friends with them and I got way to many funny storiesinvolving those dudes.

When I was a freshman I will admit I was

when I first saw WayneSimien and Keith Langford. Texting my boys like I just seen Keith and Wayne. Later that year I was chilling with my boy in his dorm room and in walks Keith.Keith ended up trading his PE Jayhawk 13's for the Altitudes. I still have pictures I took of em that night.

But as far as classes go, I had a bunch of athletes in my classes. Everyone I ever knew showed up when they could (travel) and mainly just sat there anddidn't do anything. I will say that Julian Wright had to be one of the most smart and polished guys I have ever met. Dude really didn't say all thatmuch but when he did he knew what he was talking about.

My two favorite stories involving athletes and class are the following...
1. Senior, coaching basketball. Obviously the class was full of athletes. So one day we are watching this game film and I'm in the back row. I hear thisnoise behind me and I look at the door and I see Russel Robinson on all fours, crawling into the class room cuse he was late.

2. Same class, we had Coach Self come speak to the class. He gets in there and says whats up the players. Looks around the room and goes, "Hey Sherronisn't Brady in this class?" Sherron was like, yeah I think so. Self looks around and doesn't see him in there and goes, "I know who is goingto be doing some extra running after practice."

Hmmm so do I

Our center is in my bio class.. son can't even fit into a seat so they got a special desk just for him

 

[igotdemkickz21]

Went to high school with Myron Rolle, he is obviously as legit smart as you might imagine. His dorm room was super neat and organized, he was basically aperfect scholar athlete. We played ball together, he wasn't super skilled, but his athletic abilities let him be one of our top rebounders on the teamdespite only being 6'3" or so. Absolute freak of an athlete and student. Also an incredibly cool dude, couldn't have been nicer to everyone.Basically everything you read about him is true.

Well, I went to the high school that Tim Tebow played for and I scrimmaged against him once during summer football camp. I also saw him many times up close. Ialso went to high school with James Wilson (an O-Lineman that plays for UF). I had Geometry with him when I was a sophomore and he was a junior. He also liveddown the street from me when he went to my high school.

 

[nktran001]

I actually chill with them.

Man you all have to have SOME sort of ego to not verbalize something like this even if you do feel this way. Funny

all the b-ball dudes at St. John's back when I went were in CPS...never saw any of them going to, or in class (aside from Curtis Johnson)...

I remember going to an off campus party a year or so ago and the whole sju b-ball team was there playing the wall looking mad regular...2 or 3 ofthem were socializing, one was Mason's son...and one kept asking me where I got my shoes and watch from

 

[downtown43]

my dorm is where the athletes live so i see them all the time. it was weird at first seeing huge %*# dudes (and girls) just lumbering around but you get usedto it.

like half of my friends are baseball/football/bball/soccer players. our school isn't nasty at sports or anything but some of my friends have made ESPNhighlight reels and stuff, which is pretty cool. and some of them were All-Americans or like Gatorade Player of the Year for their sports in HS, so they'repretty well-known where they're from.

My brother banged with Shannon Brown when they went to MSU...
