to make you laugh too.

He's kind of a clown,

in a way, off the court.

[Okopnyi] He knew who he was,

he was going to be

a basketball star.

I remember Patrick telling

me that with his help,

Baylor would be the

Big 12 champion.

At the time, I think it was

hard to get recruits to Baylor.

[Marlowe] Dave Bliss must have

known something about recruiting

because I mean, he got

Patrick really excited

about going to Baylor.

He had Patrick really excited

about being one of their

scholarship athletes.

They have a chance to get

a free education,

get it now.

He had to go somewhere,

where they could offer him

a full athletic scholarship.

Dave Bliss, he made it clear to

Patrick that if he came

out to Baylor, everything would

be great, everything was

going to be wonderful.

You're going to be my star.

He had, all of a sudden,

a place to live and he didn't

have to worry about making rent.

He didn't have to worry about,

"Oh my gosh, am I going

to get evicted or not."

The bills were paid.

He didn't have to worry about

his electricity being shut off.

And he didn't have to worry

about driving around in a car

and wondering if it's going

to break down in the

middle of the road.

He said Dave Bliss had helped

him get a vehicle and I said,

"What did he get?"

And he told me a Chevy Tahoe.

And he loved it.

He really did love it.

[Brian] He talked about how he

was going to be a professional

basketball player, pay for

Wynn's college education,

buy his mom a house.

Well, for the first time

on campus,

Baylor basketball

meant something.

We all thought that the

2003-2004 season was the year,

the year it was going to happen.

We just had a huge group

of players come in.

We had R.T. Guinn, Ellis Kidd,

Patrick Dennehy has a red shirt

and then Carlton Dotson,

all of those players

make us a better team.

Carlton Dotson had not signed

a scholarship yet.

I went up and looked at him and

Carlton was very, very skilled,

offensively, somebody I

thought would be good

for part-time minutes.

[Dolcin] Yeah, Hurlock, it's

a rough little town, man.

Small town, dirt roads,

you know.

So, it's just not a

good place to live

and if you do live there,

you want out of Hurlock.

You know, nobody wants to stay.

The little area of Hurlock,

not much happening up there.

The four years that I had

Carlton, we won 85 games

and we won more basketball games

than had ever been won

at North Dorchester.

Carlton was the leader

of the team.

He was basically our

LeBron James.

He knew his talent was

going to take him places.

Everybody knew they was going

to see Carlton on TV one day.

Everybody knew Carlton

was going to make it.
