Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast

I was friendly with Abdul at URI. We weren't buddies, but he was a very good student and he was average guy when he wasn't on the basketball court. You could talk to him about sports or anything and he treated you like an equal. I have nothing but great memories of Abdul from our URI days
