First recruits?

I just got to thinking, I know Orr's first recruit was Cameron Madlock http://www.niuhuskies.com/sports/m-bask ... ron00.html" target="_blank
which made me wonder. Does anyone know the other coaches first recruits? I remember Weinert, Larranaga, Dakich, Orr, and only barely Pat Haley.
I remember Dakich ran somebody off, a Junior or Senior center?. I'd love to ask Bill Frack, but maybe some of you guys would know.

It seems that Charlie Parker, under John Weinert, recruited the likes of Marcus Newbern Rosie Barnes (from Monroe MI), and Colin Irish. I think Duane Gray was Weinert's first recruit, someone he brought with him from Milwaukee.

Here's a fun database of past years http://www.fanbase.com/Bowling-Green-St ... Basketball" target="_blank

P.S. Does anyone remember who got #42 for a game at Anderson Arena in the Dakich era? The were changed to 40 something the next game.

Larranaga's first BG recruit was Lawrence "Pop" Jennings, 6-5, from NYC.
Dakich's first BG recruit was Jeremy Keys, 6-2, from I don't remember where.
