"I'm excited about it," Hurley said, "It's not like I'll be wearing something that a lot of other players will have. It's going to be my own shoe and it's pretty nice." Hurley said he's been wearing the sneakers for the past few weeks and has been satisfied. He said the shoe is supposed to hit the stores in September.

Dehere, who finished his career as Seton Hall (2.494) and the Big East's (1,320 points) all-time leading scorer, said he was happy to hear Nets' GM Willis Reed say the team would pick the 6-4 guard if he's available at No. 16.

Unlike Hurley and Dehere, Walker said he hoped not to get drafted. "For me that would be the best thing to happen," Walker said. "I will be better off as a free agent because I could pick and choose the camps I go to." By DAVID L.

During their four years as Friars, the school was 115-5 and ended the 1989 season 32-0. "That was probably the thing I remember most," Hurley said. "We were undefeated and went on to win the (New Jersey) Tournament of Champions.

It was all pretty fun." As they stood next to one another again, along with an entourage of fans and supporters at Doyle and Raftery's in the Harborside Financial Center of their hometown, much of the talk was centered on the future and not the past. Because Wednesday, when the NBA holds its draft in Detroit, Hurley, Dehere and Walker hope to begin another successful period in their lives.
