Remembering basketball recruiting pioneer, UNC grad Brick Oettinger

Brick Oettinger has the distinction of being the first person to bring Michael Jordan (then known as Mike) to the public’s attention in writing and subsequent acclaim in 1979, saying, “Jordan has the best combination of basketball skills, physical abilities, and intangibles from a high school wing guard I’ve ever seen.” Brick practiced his unique craft for 49 years.
