Does anybody know why Jeff Ruland was at the GM game yesterday? Who was sitting next to him? Was it Kevin Vescey?

Gary Stanley mentioned that Jeff was there scouting for the Washington Wizards. Because he was there representing an NBA team, he could not be interviewed at halftime. I'm not sure if Kevin Hamilton or Gary said the Kevin Vescey was there too and it was good to see him back. Great news.

The bigger question is who was he there to look at?

Yes Jeff was there scouting for the Wizards and yes Kevin Vesey was sitting with him. The twin towers reunited with Kevin Hamilton just down the table. Great memories of my college days with those three on the court and Coach V on the bench.

I thought Jeff was a little uncomfortable as I who had a pretty good relationship with him before he left Iona received a lot of one word responses when I tried to hold a conversation with him.

Agreed observer. I'm sure big Jeff feels like a stranger in his own home now. New administration, new facilities. I'm sure it was emotional for him on Saturday as a lot of "what could have been" thoughts must have been running through his mind. He did seem very uncomfortable I agree.

Some plans in the works to recognize Jeff's contributions--although not this year.

I just hope the recognition for Jeff's contributions doesn't take as long as they did for Richie Guerin. Some of us would like to be still alive when this event takes place. Just kidding maybe.

So true! Might be best player ever to wear Iona uniform. Certainly he and Jimmy V put us on the national map!

From what I understand there might be a potential Jimmy V recognition night in the works as well. Believe we might see that next season.
