I was saddened to learn of the passing of Greg Leggett '90 earlier this week. His brother and sister both posted announcements on Facebook. I have no other details.

Greg set a school record for points in a season (585) his senior year and finished with 1,141 career points which placed him 14th at the time he graduated. He was a 6th man his sophomore and junior years before earning 1st team all-East Coast Conference as a senior. The Bison played in the ECC championship game all 3 years and won the championship in 1989.

I remember him as a fiery competitor who always had a smile off the court. He was just 53 years old. May he rest in peace.

I am very sad to hear this. I remember seeing Greg play countless times. He always played hard and left it all on the court. 1989 was a magical season. I still remember roadtripping 22 hours to Dallas for the Dance. Lifetime memories.

My condolences to Greg's family.
New season, new team, new dream . . .

That's two players from the 1989 team who've died way too soon. RIP Greg and John.

Thanks for letting us know, DoCtoR62. He was one year below me and, besides being a fine player, he had a good sense of humor too.

Greg Leggett was one of my Bison heroes in high school.
To any friends or family who read this, I’m sorry to hear of his passing.
