Title: Sam Lawson?
Post by: Poster formerly known as jthutch on March 16, 2011, 11:33:13 AM

I got a text message from a buddy of mine that was in D.C. for a conference.  He was sitting on the metro and was wearing a KSU shirt.  A guy told him he played for KSU and played with Pullen the year they beat K.U.  He told him he scored 13 points that game, and said his name was Sam Lawson.  My friend is really a combo fan (KU & KSU) and does not follow KSU as much as KU (did not attend eaither school).  He texted me to see if this story holds water.  I kind of laughed at him for a while and then said no I don't know of a Sam Lawon who played ont he 2008 KSU Cats. 

This is kind of a cool story right?  We have crazy people making up stories that they played for the KSU cats, I think this might mean we have made the big time.  Feels good.

He definitely didn't have 13 pts that night.  That's so Sam to exaggerate like that.

You are forgetting his two last-minute trips to the line where KU was fouling to get the ball back.  Sunk all 4.   :woot:  Sealed the game.

Late DCA addition.  iirc he was on the online roster at one time but was taken down after Frank ran his ass.

Expunging his name from the roster that year really didn't help with our ties to his AAU program i'll give you that.

Probably Joe "White Rice" Lawson. Sam must be his middle name.

I told you guys he didn't score 13 pts. Looks like he didn't even get on the court.

There was a Sam Lawson recruit from a Kentucky school that I believe would have been in the 2006 class. Don't ever remember his name associated with K-state and now rivals database doesn't show that name for any past recruiting classes.    :ck:

lawson didn't even play that game. i had him in elementary statistics spring semester. he stopped coming halfway through. didn't make it back for his sophomore year. thought he transferred DII back east. could be wrong.

I have a request and a suggestion:

Request:  Please get Lawson to post here because that would be fantastic.

Suggestion:  If you run a sales organization, you need to hire Mr. Lawson like yesterday.
