Trying to Get Famous
Posted on Oct 2, 2008 11:45 am
VALHALLA — Dave Vandiver knew something special was going on at Westchester Community College when a certain high-profile Big East coach strolled into his windowless gym two weeks ago.
“When we saw Coach Calhoun walk in, it was like, ‘Wow, this is serious,’” Vandiver, the WCC associate head coach, said Wednesday, recalling the visit of UConn coach Jim Calhoun. “That definitely did put it over the top. That put it over the top.”
Calhoun is the most well-known, but certainly not the only, Division I coach in pursuit of WCC’s biggest attraction — Jarrid Famous, a skilled 6-foot-11, 235-pound center with big-time dreams and a name to match.

Adam,
It’s great that the Hall is the # 1 school on Jarrid Famous’s list of schools to attend, and it seems from the article that he’s definitely a hard working players, but how are his grades? Will he be qualified to play straight away if he tranfers to the Hall or another Div. 1 school? It seems that the qualifying process is hindering the Hall at every turn.
Thanks.
Mike
Good piece.
Appropos of nothing, Vandiver’s close relative, Corey, played point guard for Brown.
