Augustine Rubit - a sad end to a great career

He was the all-time leading rebounder in Sun Belt history, and for at least the last three years of his career he was a devastating threat inside - a double/double machine. Opposing coaches HAD to solve the Rubit problem - or lose. Then, in what was expected to be a banner year for South Alabama, they plunged off the slide and ended up near the conference - inexplicably. They had a new coach, and maybe he tried to change too much too fast. Who knows? In any case, it was a shame that his career had to end in an unexpectedly low plane.
