Gregory "Bo" Kimble, 43, is as well known for his college basketball career as he is for his pro career. A native of Philadelphia, Kimble played at Dobbins Technical High School where he and teammate/best friend Hank Gathers led the team to the league championship in 1985. The pair went on to play college basketball where they were an integral part of a historic Loyola Marymount offense that still owns the five highest single game scoring totals in NCAA history. After the tragic passing of Gathers in the 1990 WCC Tournament, Kimble led the Lions to one of the most memorable post-season runs in NCAA Tournament history. The run was best symbolized by the right-handed Kimble shooting his first free throw in each NCAA Tournament game left-handed in memory of Gathers. As a result, Los Angeles County declared July 17, 1990, "Bo Kimble Day."

In the 1990 NBA draft, the 6'5" guard was picked by the LA Clippers. He played with the Clippers until 1992, when he was traded to the NY Knicks where he played one more season.

Since leaving basketball, Kimble devotes his time to the nonprofit organization Forty-Four for Life, which aims to decrease the rate of death and disability from life-threatening heart disease.

DAN KLECKO

After a decorated college career at Temple University, Dan Klecko has had four successful seasons in the NFL. Klecko's All-Big East honors and Big East Defensive Player of the Year made him an attractive pick up for the New England Patriots, who drafted the defensive tackle in the fourth round (117th overall) in the 2003 NFL Entry Draft. The 5-foot-11-inch, 283-pound Klecko h made an impact in New England in his first three seasons before being picked up by the Indianapolis Colts who went on to win the Super Bowl.

The blue-collared style of Kleckos play, with his high intensity and relentless pursuit, has helped define him in his four seasons. Because of his efforts, Klecko was awarded the Patriots12th Man Award, an honor given to the Patriots player who best exemplifies what it means to be a Patriot through hard work, hustle, team spirit and excellence both on and off the field.

Klecko is much like his father, Joe, who was an All-American defensive lineman at Temple from 1973-76 and an All-Pro with the New York Jets who also played for the Colts. In 40 games as a Temple Owl, Klecko recorded 206 tackles (142 solos) with 26 sacks for minus-124 yards, 66 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 70 quarterback pressures. He was a physical education major.
