House Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I was looking at the memorabilia at Ozzie's at Westport this afternoon and I stumbled upon a framed Billiken jersey with the number 10. Any idea whose jersey it is? My earliest Billiken memories are from the Bonner years. This jersey looked like it was probably a little older than that. It had "Billikens" across the front with a little patch on the left shoulder that said "SLU". Everything in the restaurant is being auctioned off this weekend. I am thinking of buying the jersey but I would like to know which player wore it. Help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Here is a photo of the jersey in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAGS'12 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Here is a photo of the jersey in question. I am 90% sure that #10 was Ronald Reagan, the great 3 guard for the Bills back in the day. Someone may disagree but I am pretty sure it was either him or Joe Pesci. I don't remember perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIKNS Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 What was Jim Roder`s number? Looks kind of like the NIT runner-ups era, 88,89,90 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kappy96 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 And the restaurant doesn't know? Strange. Going off memory (which is dangerous) but could that be Jeff Luechtefeld's old jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Going off memory (which is dangerous) but could that be Jeff Luechtefeld's old jersey?Luechtefeld was #20. Idk who was 10. That uniform has to be from early mid 80s. It is not the 88-89 NIT uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It might be Pee Wee Leonard's jersey. For some reason I think he wore #10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 John Duff. Final answer. I'm not sure at all. Pee Wee sounds like a good guess also. Amazingly little online about ghosts of SLU past. Couldn't find NIT semis/finals boxscores either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Any of you other old U. Newsers have your annual bound copies? I have some from '77-8 and '78-9; there should be a preview article in every annual that has all the roster numbers. I have to figure out where mine are.

I don't remember. I only have media guides from 80-81 and 88-89. No 10s those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Ken R Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Kevin Williams from Cape Girardeau, Missouri wore number 10 from 1982 through 1986. Peyton Jacks also wore that number at least in 2004-05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Ken R Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The uniform matches Kevin Williams during one of his years here. I agee he wasn't a big star. Averaged less than 10 points a game his first three years, not sure about his senior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Did you buy the jersey, House? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 No. I couldn't make it up there today. I'm going to call the auction company tomorrow to see if it sold and how much. If it didn't sell, I'll give them something for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I believe Kevin Williams still holds the record for most assists in a season by a freshman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't sell, I'll give them something for it. House: Roder here. Kevein Williams wore #10 from 82-86. I was #14 from 85-87. Our jerseys in 85-87 though did not have the SLU up on the top left. Guessing it is either Williams or someone prior to him that would have worn #10. Pee Wee was #5 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I believe Kevin Williams still holds the record for most assists in a season by a freshman. Didn't Kwamain break the record last year? I think Williams had 108 and Kwamain got 113 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've seen someone wearing a #10 jersey in the student section this year. Did one of them buy the jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.hayes Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 If I remember correctly Billikenfan05 sported a #10 jersey for a whiiiiiile. Now he's sporting a blue #23 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
