ANDREW ,
I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE YOUR BOOK !!!!!!! I WAS @ U. TENNESSEE WHILE WALLACE WAS PLAYING & ATTENDED SCHOOL IN NASHVILLE. MY ROOMATE ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL WITH WALLACE. IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE IN THE SEC, KENTUCKY HAD A BLACK TRACK STAR BEFORE WALLACE PLAYED VARSITY BALL , AND RAY MEARS RECRUITED AUBREY NASH, SPENCER HAYWOOD AND AUSTIN CARR DURING THAT ERA.
TENNESSEE ALSO SIGNED ALBERT DAVIS TO PLAY FOOTBALL , BUT HE DID NOT QUALIFY . LESTER MCCLAIN WAS ADMITTED , AND WENT ON TO STAR IN OUR PROGRAM.
I LOOK FORWARD TO READING YOUR BOOK, AS PERRY WAS A GOOD GUY.
