“I don’t remember Neptune that well as a player, but didn’t he captain a Lehigh team, start a couple of seasons? Wasn’t a great era of Lehigh hoops”
I think you might not be giving enough credit to Neptune and a couple of his LU teams. He was a very solid player who started two years and saw regular time off the bench the other two. Was part of one of the two best classes in PL history (Ingram, Simmons, Olivero, McNaughton, Chones, T. Thomas, Badmus, M. Bell, J. Simon, D. Brown, etc). At different times, he might have been a candidate for PL all-rookie team or 2nd team All-PL. LU his freshman year won 20 games and went 10-4 in league and won the tournament. Also his junior year was one of the better teams LU has had – going 11-3 in PL play the year Bucknell was a top 25 team nationally. Prior to the arrival of CJ, I think you’d have to go back a long way to find a better LU team.
