James Gist taken in the NBA Draft

Found June 26, 2008 on It Never Rains in College Park:
PLAYERS: Tony Parker,  Manu Ginobili,  Bruce Bowen,  Tim Duncan,  Fabricio Oberto,  Erin Henderson,  James Gist
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs

I just have a few small wishes in this world, and several of them have to do with Maryland alumni making it at the professional level of their respective sports. This spring, I was denied this privilege when linebacker Erin Henderson, the defensive star on Maryland's football squad, went undrafted due to injury concerns. Last night, I was surprised to see this wish fulfilled when James Gist was selected 57th overall by the San Antonio Spurs.

  • Everyone was surprised by Henderson. I was speaking with John Clayton during the final few picks of the Draft, and this was the topic of conversation: Even Clayton had no answer. We were both shocked. Everyone that I spoke with was surprised. Some more than others, I suppose.
