I recall when Garcia first committed to UofL. Looking back, he wasn't a highly sought after recruit. It was mainly the east coast schools that wanted him. I know I was like "who is this guy?" But, Pitino loved his New York toughness. He was a little older than a normal freshman, too. He was fun to watch. Congrats to him.

This is awesome. Does anyone know what Cisco has been up to since he hung it up in the NBA?

He played internationally for awhile but has tried to play in the G League as recently as 2018. Don’t know if he’s still trying to play now.
