Walt Frazier — The Rest of the Story Most people know that Southern’s most famous basketball alum is Walt Frazier (1964-67). What they don’t know is the story of how the Atlanta native ended up in Carbondale. Basketball was Frazier’s second-best sport in high school. He was offered a scholarship to play quarterback at Georgia Tech, but he didn’t want to play football. Frazier went on a recruiting visit to SIU in 1963 and met with AD Donald Boydston, who was progressive about recruiting minorities during a time when southern schools rarely recruited them. According to Boydston, Frazier didn’t say one word the whole trip, but called shortly after he took the train back to Atlanta to say he was enrolling at SIU. Frazier was dismissed from the team for academic issues after his sophomore year. He went back to Atlanta and got a
