Tyler Smithpeters to redshirt G Tyler Smithpeters (6-4, 198, Sr.) hurt his knee in the season opener against Wright State and is out for the season. He plans to apply for a medical redshirt. Smithpeters, who turned 23 on Dec. 26, ranks sixth all-time in career 3-point shooting percentage at SIU (.395). He is 20th overall in 3-pointers made (98). In his career, 69 percent of his shot attempts have come from 3-point range.

Walt Frazier — The Rest of the Story Most people know that Southern’s most famous basketball alum is Walt Frazier (1964-67). What they don’t know is the story of how the Atlanta native ended up in Carbondale. Basketball was Frazier’s second-best sport in high school. He was offered a scholarship to play quarterback at Georgia Tech, but he didn’t want to play football. Frazier went on a recruiting visit to SIU in 1963 and met with AD Donald Boydston, who was progressive about recruiting minorities during a time when southern schools rarely recruited them. According to Boydston, Frazier didn’t say one word the whole trip, but called shortly after he took the train back to Atlanta to say he was enrolling at SIU.

Frazier was dismissed from the team for academic issues after his sophomore year. He went back to Atlanta and got a job doing manual labor. Frazier called in August of 1965 and asked if he could come back. He was not eligible for a scholarship, so he paid his own way and sat out his junior year, making the Dean’s List. He played on the practice team, and sometimes they would beat the varsity. The 1966-67 storybook season saw Frazier lead the team to the NIT National Championship, beating Marquette in the finals. He turned pro after the season.
