During the summer of 2000, as an intern at SI.com (then called CNNSI.com), I wrote 10 articles spotlighting college basketball players and what they were doing over the summer. SI.com: sportsillustrated.cnn.com Brett Nelson, sophomore guard, Florida. "Gator Gunner." Loren Woods, senior center, Arizona. "Bouncing Back." Brian Cook, sophomore forward, Illinois. "Home Cooking." Eric Chenowith, senior center, Kansas. "Hell Week." Charlie Bell, senior guard, Michigan State. "Out for Respect." Joseph Forte, sophomore guard, North Carolina. "Showing Fortitude." Troy Murphy, junior forward, Notre Dame. "Moving On." Tony Harris, senior guard, Tennessee. "Forget Football." Earl Watson, senior guard, UCLA. "A Winning Combination." Casey Jacobsen, sophomore guard, Stanford. "Cardinal Win." I also prepared a timeline of the lives of tennis phenoms Venus and Serena Williams through summer 2000, with quotes from the sisters and their always-voluble father. It has since been maintained and updated by other SI.com staffers. Venus and Serena Williams Timeline Back to Top
