PC hasn't yet placed anyone in the NBA. Just trying to ease your mind when you play us soon.

In some ways, it's even more interesting to see what players from the past are doing in life after basketball.

Weldon Williams ('86) was a Minister and Quality Manager at a corrugated box facility in Illinois until sometime last year (stopped being QM, not Minister as far as I know). We shared a major customer.

We all know Jay Bilas ('86) is a part-time lawyer in Charlotte, and Johnny Dawkins ('86) is coaching the trees in California. Mark Alarie ('86) was in investment banking and money management, so he's probably broke now.

Jason Williams ('02) is in sports management representation.

Jay Heaps ('98) is playing professional soccer for the New England Revolution of the MLS.

I would appreciate it if someone made a comprehensive list of players playing in foreign leagues, since it would be fairly substantial. Then finally a miscellaneous list with players in non-basketball jobs, it would probably be easiest to stick with K era players, or players since 1990 or something along those lines.

Our Blue Planet site has a list of quite a few former players and their current occupation...

I would imagine Daniel Ewing Shavlik Randolph and DeMarcus Nelson are all on the bubble . They have to make their prospective teams. I assume Trajan Langdon is still playing in Moscow Russia. Anyone know what Cherokee, Erik Meek, Ricky Price and Antonio Lang are doing for work? Lee Melchionni works for Arn Tellem's sports management agency in Los Angeles.

The Blue Planet may be wrong on Ewing I didn't see his name in the box score for Toronto. He may be in Moscow or St Petersberg in Russia.
