Apparently Wade Houston signed this 6-5 basketball player who couldn't shoot, didn't have very good hands, and didn't dribble very well (sounds like Most of Wade Houston's recruits). The one thing he did do very well was jump. He never played for the Vols but went on to set the world record by dunking on a 12 foot goal with the Harlem Globetrotters.

I don't remember him though.

I don't remember him either, but it's no wonder since every player from that era was overshadowed by the wizardry of Doug Roth.

Wilson ended up playing for the last of the good Memphis Tiger teams, a team that reached the Sweet 16 under Larry Finch.

And who was that 6-10 guy that played for, I think DeVoe, that went on to wrestle in the WWF or one of those pro-wrestling groups. I at lost to remember his name. I know it's not Roth or Federman. Help.

You can ask GAVol any wrestling questions and he will know the answer.

OK. See if he knows this.

Name a fleet wide receiver for the Vols that played in the early 80's whose sister was a famous MoTown singer? Clue his last name has already been mentioned in this thread.

At 6'5" a twelve ft goal is pretty impressive. Your talking about a 48" or higher vertical jump. Here's pictures of him doing it:

Playing professional softball. A fitting fate for the man who brought about the demise of the Four Horsemen.

Last seen working in TNA. There are rumors that he will return, but nothing definitive.
