Considering Rutgers has had some star bigs, including NBA player, 6’9” James Bailey, it is very impressive that the 6’4” Sellers is still the career rebounding leader.

I can always thank James Bailey for missing practice and being sat out of a hs tournament game.
Why? Because there was a young Globe reporter there to do a story on him. No story to do, but the guy stayed to watch the game and I got to talk to him throughout most of it.
The guy was Peter Gammons and most of the conversation centered around Holy Cross basketball, not the Red Sox; although he did opine that he thought they'd be pretty good that coming season, 1975.

I was fortunate to witness one of the best 1 on 1 high school matchups of the 70s.
Brooklyn’s Phil Sellers vs the #1 ranked SI cover boy Walter Luckett of Bridgeport.
It was a standoff. Neither could stop the other.
Luckett’s athleticism and finesse vs Sellers’ power and will.
Both continued to improve as college players, but not the pros.
