BG's point here is simple. Bob Lanier wanted to attend Canisius College over a lot of other schools after graduating from Bennett High.The family lived right in the neighborhood. But his marks were rejected in the Academics Office. (A single Jesuit as BG recalls). That was in 1966. KAC was not built until 1968. At that time Bob MacKinnon was Basketball Coach as well as AD. Bob MacKinnon went on in his MBB career to NBA positions, ultimately to become GM to the NJ Nets. Bob Lanier's Dad ran a trash removal business at the time. BG's family home needed some stuff removed. A younger BG became friendly with Mr. Lanier who spoke while working there about where his son wanted to go to college. Canisius College period. The point is MBB at CC could well have gone on as Bona did with young Bob Lanier becoming a student and very significant and generous alumnus. Today BG believes a goal of President Steve and THE POWERS THAT BE at Canisius want to grow the University. Now how different things in Buffalo and at CU could already be. Go Griffs, y' know if the good ones stick around it can still happen.

Would have been nice to see Lanier, Anderson and Morrison on the court at the same time even just for one year
