Jacksonville was a top I-A U.S. basketball program in th 1970s and perhaps even the '80s, well before Florida made a blip on the radar.

What brought JU to fame was Artis Gilmore. He took JU to the NCAA finals in 1970 and lost to UCLA.

I forgot about Artis Gilmore. Actually had a chance to meet him at a basketball camp once. I guess his daughter went on to play at La. Tech. Karl Malone's daughter played there as well. There's some heritage for some big girls.

The Owls could sure use a big guy the likes of them- but who couldn't.

True. JAX was a good team about 30-35 years ago. My point is about the current destination of major talent. Right now, Jax ain't one of them. FAU should not be losing out on B'Ball talent to JAX when it really counts.

Named coach(Doherty) and SunBelt conference connection should count for something.
