Commodores Quote of the Day
“I was going to Columbia, but Bill Parcells recruited me to Florida State then to Vanderbilt. I thought I was a better basketball player, but only the smaller schools talked to me about playing basketball for them. At that time I became interested in becoming a doctor and to pursue a medical degree. Steve Sloan was like a big brother to me and that appealed to me. He was only 29 years old.”Brenard Wilson
