His family announced he passed away yesterday after battling cancer for about 9 months

This is sad.  I remember watching Eric play in high school and all the hype about where he might go to college.  My wife and I drove through a snowstorm to see him play at Purdue one December night.  Dean Smith and Gene Keady arranged for UNC to play at Purdue so Eric could play near the home folks.  Such a shame that a relatively young man's life has ended.  RIP, Eric.

Shared this on Twitter/X earlier but I was lucky enough to meet Eric before a UNC @ FSU game in 2011/2012. He signed a mini UNC ball and chit chatted for a while. He was very gracious and LOL'd when I told him how he helped break my heart in 93 vs Michigan.

Another famous person my age gone too soon. I'm still trying to get my head around Dolores O'Riordan and Sinead O'Connor.
