Dukes Add Eight To Hall Of Fame
From the DNR:
James Madison announced its 2020 Athletics Hall of Fame class on Friday, Eight individuals are set for induction, including two of the school’s most prominent professional athletes of the past decade.
Defensive end Arthur Moats 2006-9
Men’s soccer alumnus C.J. Sapong Thru 2010
Administrator Casey Carter 1978-2017)
wrestler Dan Corbin (1979-83),
Football wide receiver David McLeod (1990-93),
Randy Parker (1984-88) of swimming and diving,
Midfielder Teresa (Rynier) Rook (2007-10) of women's soccer, and
Midfielder Baillie Versfeld (2003-06) of field hockey.
This is certainly one of the stronger classes - Congrats to all!
I must admit - each year this comes out the first names I look for are Justin Rascati and Mickey Matthews. I hope they are inducted to the Hall the same year. If not for those 2, we might not have the 2004 Championship, or the football stadium expansion. 2004-2006 may have been the foundation for what we have created in football today.
Both have been eligible for awhile.

I agree - for a long time I though he was the best WR we had ever had. It's hard to compare athletes from different decades. I'm not sure anyone had a better "year" than Polk.
