Any of you old school Bulls remember basketball player Jimmy Smith from the 80's

[The Sheriff]

Playing flag football in this league in AZ, and he introduced himself while I was balling out wearing my USF colors. Said he played hoops for Bobby P back in the '80s if I recall correctly. He's officiating in our league, so I'll see him week to week, but I figured someone on here might know him.

There was a 'Jay Smith' that played at USF in the 1989-90 season (went to Tampa Bay Tech). But no 'Jimmy Smith.' Played in 16 games, scored 28 points. Jay Smith is in the team picture that year also.

I was scratching my head on that one...I do remember Jay Smith but didn't see much of him.

I do believe he was one the same team that featured steve williams and chris risey

Jay Smith played HS ball at Tampa Bay Tech where his dad, Jimmy Smith, was the head coach.  We had a kid named Jimmy Bolden from Detroit who didn't play much, transferred to a juco in Michigan and then ended up at Wichita State where he was all-MVC his senior year.  But I don't remember a Jimmy Smith.

It might be Jay Smith... he said he was from Tampa and that he transferred out after playing for USF. Anyone got a pix of him from back in the day... Might be able to pick him out. He said they lost to Arizona in the NCAA tourney.

He's sitting down, 4th from the left (2nd player) .... Good luck.

I know it's fuzzy, but that looks like him... albeit he's younger in the photo. Got any stats on him or know anything about him? Made for a good conversation topic and we're gonna grab drinks down the road and talk some Bulls. Thanks Triple B.

Here's one you'll like Terry.  I was at a practice once when Jay and Tony Armstrong got into a little fracas.  Paschal had to put them both in time out  .  Ask Jay about that.  Jay was a 2" shorter, not quite as smooth Altron.  He was a good defensive player, but he had trouble scoring.  On those teams during that era Coach Paschal only played about 6 guys.  Jay was not in the top 6-7 so he did not see much action.

If I remember correctly Jay also high jumped for TBT.  He may have gotten up to 6' 6" or so.  He seemed like a pretty good kid.
