During the winter of 1973-1974, the coaches at Fairleigh Dickinson University were recruiting four high school seniors from the New York metropolitan area. All were highly skilled basketball players from successful high school programs. All had expressed an interest in playing college ball close to home so their parents would be able to attend their games. All four were awarded scholarships to attend and play at FDU. What could not have been known at the time was that these four young men would forge a friendship that would last a lifetime - nearly fifty years and counting.
Jay Jorgensen from John F. Kennedy Memorial High School (Iselin, NJ), Jeff Hunt from Pompton Lakes High School (Pompton Lakes, NJ), Steve Makwinski from Sayreville War Memorial High School (Sayreville, NJ) and Seth Greenberg from John F. Kennedy High School (Plainview, NY) arrived on the Teaneck campus in the fall of 1974. They played at the old gym on the Rutherford campus. All four graduated in 1978 and went on to professional success in different fields, but the ties they formed at FDU still bind them together.
