Not in Hall of Fame

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  Eventually, we plan to do that for the major colleges in the NCAA.  As such, it is news to us that Eastern Kentucky University has announced nine new members to their Athletic Hall of Fame.

They are:

Mike Cadore: Football 1984-88:  Cadore was a versatile player for EKU, playing at Wide Receiver, Running Back and as a returner.  He accumulated 2,355 All-Purpose Yards and was an All-Ohio Valley Conference Selection in 1987.  Cadore would be drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 12thRound.

Jeff Cruse: Baseball 1984-87:  Cruse helped EKU reach three straight NCAA Regional Tournaments, and his 30 Wins (against 6 Losses) are a school record.  He was a First Team All-OVC Selection in both 1986 and 1987.

Naismith Award, which is given to the best senior under six feet.
