I remember he was supposed to be a PG who could shoot the 3. People said he'd beat out Clayton Adams at PG his freshman year. I believe he got hurt early and redshirted. He did play in 91-92 and is still third all time in single-season 3-PT FG% and 3-PT FGs made, but he didn't have too much else to his game. Turned it over a lot, didn't play defense, got into foul trouble easily, couldn't run the offense. I guess that describes a lot of players who've come through Duquesne over the years. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

I can remember several games he took last shot to win and missed, after that JC seemed to lose confidence in him. I spoke with him several times and he was a nice kid, just a wrong fit for Duquesne. (NT) -- philldogg, Thursday, December 09, 09:49:39am
- Another guard who failed for JC was BJ Flynn, who only lasted a few months, and got homesick. I seemed to remember Caroll telling me it was something lame, like he missed his girlfriend, and transferred to a better school, Lousiville? (NT) -- Tejas Duke, Thursday, December 09, 04:01:03pm
  - He walked on at Louisville, where his Dad had once played, and ended up being a key component of an Elite Eight team. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, December 11, 09:31:11pm
