Happened to notice that Chester Frazier, Raymar Morgan, and Marquis Gray all lost the braids in the offseason. (Kellen Lewis as well). Big Ten mandate? Or just coincidence? I can't think of any other guys off the top of my head that still have them.... |

Desmond Tardy, Anthony Heygood, Arsenio Curry, Joe Whitest, and Gerald Gooden all played and had braids for Purdue's football team. I also think braids in general are being seen less and less. I'm fairly certain that Carmelo dumped the braids. AI seems to be one of the few true superstars anymore that have them. |

I dream of having the fro come back but it still hasn't happened. If I was black I'd definitely have a badass fro |

I was watching an Illinois game over break and they said that Chester Frazier's teammates refer to him as Coach Frazier, and he got rid of the braids to appear as more of a leader. Tattoos are forever. |

UConn's Hasheem Thabeet got rid of his braids as well. Guess they're going out of style. I remember in high school our basketball coach never wanted players to have braids and long hair including fros. |

I can't wait for the flat top to make a comeback. The Jennings kid that went to Europe had it for awhile and a kid that Purdue played against in the Detroit game had one. |

I've already seen a few hoops players this year with it. Great look. Very Jim Jackson/ old-school 'Zo. |

No, Counzo Martin had the shaved head. You must be talking about "the other Zo" ;) As for braids, I hope this isn't the end of it, I've always liked the look. If I was black I definitely would have it. |
