Richie Parker. Parker was a star in high school, but after he was charged with the sexual abuse and attempted rape of a classmate, colleges withdrew their scholarship offers.

Parker helped Long Island get back to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years, where they'll play nationally ranked Villanova today.
