I saw him a lot in person. Unreal talent obv, second in program history to Wilt. I also went to Wilt Day (January 1998). He walked past me and good lord I’ve never seen a bigger human. I did sit next to Willie Roaf one time who’s obv massive, but Wilt was 7-1 300+ and he was still cut like granite in his 60s.
Wilt ran track and field too in college. Rumor always was Phog gave him a new car to come but it’s never been substantiated.
My older cousin was friends with Danny. She said his summer job was at Alvamar. He turned on the sprinklers for the golf course at 8am, waited for a half hour to turn them off. Then left. Came back at 5pm to do a second watering. All in a full days pay!
