Decent athlete,.. at a time when we didn't have a lot to crow about.

He comes from a very athletic family - both parents were very good HS athletes. Really great family. He represented Iowa well. Led Iowa to the NIT finals, didn't he? I think Iowa lost to a really good Baylor team in the finals that year.

Correct. Well I guess technically Aaron White and Roy Dev led the team but your point remains :)

That Baylor team was crazy athletic. That little point guard they had was awesome

Crazy to think about the trajectory of Baylor and Iowa from that point...

Eric was a phenomenal athlete. Came into his own during his senior year. Was a underrated defender that year too. Would have been a very good football player if he’d went that rout.
Does anyone remember why he didn't pay football?
 
Actually hung out with him quite a bit when I moved to Dubuque after college. He was best friends with one of the people I met down there and hung around with. I haven’t spoken or seen him in years but I can say he was one of the most humble down to earth high level athletes I’ve met. It was also nice to have him as a wingman at bars downtown ;)
 
I remember Eric May posterizing Matt Gatens in IC that year ! He was impressive for sure, that year they both won State Championships and pretty sure City's only loss on the year was to that Wahlert team.
 
I remember for a brief shining moment, May was thought to be perhaps the next big thing at Iowa. Unfortunately, he was just your average, garden variety player.
