Not in URI Hall of Fame?

It's a sad indictment on the URI Hall of Fame when Phil Kydd is in and Claude English and Stanley Wright are not. No reason to go into detail. To quote the great Grand Wizard of Wrestling, " If you don't understand what I'm saying, no explanation can be given and if you do, none is needed."

His record was lousy, but the Chuckran-Eddy regime tied his hands behind his back, so it's hard to judge.

Proudly supplying the Internet with online wisecracks, impertinent comments and loathing of all things mental hospital since 1996.

A lot of people in Kingston back then did not want Claude to succeed, some for racial reasons, some for other reasons....

I liked Claude, personally.
He had a larger than life personality.
He won 22 games filling in for Jack Kraft, and went to
the NIT, when it meant something.
His problem was Admissions hamstrung him.
The number of quality players who could not get in
was staggering.
It's hard to judge Claude in light of the obstacles
thrown in front of him.
