RIP Wesley Cox

[earsky]

So many great memories of this guy from Crum's earliest teams. Louisville kid who always left everything on the court.

RIP Wes and thanks for the memories 🙏 😪

I'm glad to hear this about the Program honoring Wes tonight.
Plenty of guys around town named after this guy. I know 2 of their fathers personally. I just wish younger fans had a chance to watch him play.

My freshman year at UofL was Wesley’s senior year when they made it to the Final Four in San Diego and lost in OT to Wooden’s last UCLA team. He was the heart and soul of that great Cardinals team.

Crawford made a great point about Wes being a big part of why Griff and Turner ending up at Belknap instead of going somewhere else.
I'd love to see PK find those Louisville kids that are in the mold of undersized forwards that went to war in the paint,fighting for everything they got. They're out there.

I remember Wes playing center for us when Stanley Bunton became ineligible at 6’6” he could hold his own against bigger opponents.

More players like Dwayne Sutton as well.

Sutton was the name that I couldn't come up with. Him and Wes cut out of that same cloth.
