ReplyDeleteI knew Boris at Jones and at FAMU... quality person, and he will be a great coach. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI feel old as hell!!! I remember Boris when he came in along with Tariq(RAC Boys) from Miami. Those were truly the golden years both athletically and as an educational institution. I hope we can revisit those times. I am sure Boris will do a rattlerific job.
