Wow, it has been an extremely busy summer. I am so excited for our players to get back on campus on August 25th! I miss all of them very much! This summer has gone by so fast. My staff and I have been very productive this summer with recruiting, camps, and preparation for the 2010-2011 basketball season!
Last week I attended the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame where they introduced Jerilynn Harper Carroll who is a tremendous person, and was a great basketball player at Tennessee Tech University. I was accompanied to the event by our Athletic Director Mark Wilson, Assistant Coach Stacey Franklin, and Athletic Committee Director Steve Smith. We all enjoyed a delicious dinner, and had the pleasure of witnessing one of the all-time greats at TTU get enshrined into a prestigious Hall of Fame.
Jerilynn led the nation in scoring as a senior with 26.8ppg, and was a two time parade All-American! Her career here at Tech was tremendous not only on the court but in the classroom as well! We here at Tennessee Tech are very proud of Jerilynn, and all of our past student-athletes. It makes us proud to see so many Eagles doing well in their journeys through life!
At the ceremony I also caught up with a good friend of mine, and ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck. She was also inducted into the Knoxville Hall of Fame, so I wanted to give her a shout out, congratulations Carolyn!
It was a night to remember, and I look forward to attending more events like these for future Golden Eagles!
Go Eagles!
