Hoop star Breanna Stewart (from her CNS days)

She’s been called the Kevin Durant of women’s game (although Durant doesn’t have her college resume), but maybe the best way describe Breanna Stewart is passion meets talent. Before it’s said and done she will probably be the most decorated baller from this area (currently she’s a close second to Dolph Schayes).

We wonder who will design her signature shoe once she goes pro?

The clinic was hosted by Team FOOTPRINTZ and training pro Mark Williams.

We did some further research and found that Brown, who won a NCAA championship in 2004, almost went to SU back in the day.

Special thanks to SIF Advisory Board Member Alton Ritter for sharing this image from the clinic.

Edwin “Eddie” Moss, baller, SU alum, publisher (circa 2005)

As SU gets ready to enter the Atlantic Coast Conference this season, we remember Edwin “Eddie” Moss. Moss was a point guard for SU and ushered them into the Big East back in 1979.  He later became a newspaper publisher. He’s pictured here in 2005 (the same year he passed away). May he rest in peace.
