I thought Ted Valentine was also from West Virginia. I went to Mike Eades' camp a couple years ago and Teddy V. was there and Mike was able to scrouge up a photo of Teddy playing baseball in college at a small West Virginia school.

You got me, I'm not up on every D1 guy and when they are mentioned here, I go to google to match the face to the name.

How was the camp??

Yes, Ted Valentine is from West Virginia. Bill Kennedy, the NCAA official not the NBA official, is also originally from West Virginia. I'm not sure, but I thought Mike Lazo is also from West Virginia. Lazo is the official that was bumped by OJ Mayo when Mayo was in high school.

Is West Virginia one of those states where, if you divorce your wife, she's still legally your cousin?
