Ray McCallum and I go back. Well, he doesn't know me, but we still go back.

During my junior year at Central Michigan University; the talk of the town regarding local college hoops was focused on two of Michigan's premier high school players, Trey Zeigler and Ray McCallum. Both of these players decided to skip the major conferences to play for their fathers; Zeigler at CMU (In Trey We Trust!) and McCallum at the University of Detroit Mercy.

While this was an honorable gesture, it only proved to be successful for the latter of those two players, seeing that McCallum was able to realize his dream of making an NBA roster, while Zeigler has struggled to make it past Summer League ball.
