Maynor Gives Dave Telep a Reminder

[xjohnx]

Eric Maynor was completely overlooked by ACC schools in his area, but went on to lead his VCU team to the NCAA tournament twice, beating Duke along the way, and emerging as a first round caliber point guard.

“The irony here is that I attended his last game of high school,” Telep confessed to us. “In hindsight, you could see that he was a real competitor, but he wasn’t a point guard, he couldn’t shoot and he had absolutely no strength. Now every day when I walk into my office, I look at a picture hanging on my wall of Eric Maynor hitting that shot against Duke in the NCAA tournament. You know who gave it to me? Eric Maynor.”

There's a lot to be said for selfpromoting!

A number of people/sports writers/bloggers are saying that....yes, eric really improved to a high level while "only" being at a mid major......but he has very little upside going into the NBA.

I personally think Eric is going to change a lot of minds when he does get the opportunity to play in the NBA

Not sure if anyone remembers, or if I can even remember correctly for that matter, but we interviewed Telep but in VCURamNation's first season (I think.. how can my memory already fade this much?!). He told us then that Eric had given him that picture for his wall. It was an audio podcast, somewhere in our archives, ha.
