2015/16 Senior Tribute
RHETT KING
When his Lafayette career began,
Rhett King was often considered the "forgotten man" in his recruiting class. Rhett was the last player to sign, and his reputation coming out of high school was less glittering than those of his classmates.
Now, we look at Rhett in a very different light.

2015 2nd Team All-Conference (Patriot League)
Rhett was a big, strong man when he arrived on campus, and he became even more formidable over the course of his career. His single-digit jersey number made him look even more imposing.
Cast as a valuable frontcourt reserve from the beginning, Rhett's ability to play the five, the four, and occasionally the three kept him in the rotation. At the beginning of his senior season, it looked like the big boy from upstate New York would play the same role once again. But early in the winter, we decided to shift him into the starting five, and the results were very, very positive.
Rhett's skill at rebounding, shot blocking, and playing tough defense were especially essential to our success this season. I've been trying to recruit his eventual replacement for a couple years, and it's not easy to do.
Perhaps Rhett will one day coach the young man who fills that role. He's going to begin a career as a teacher and coach.
Rhett King is, and will remain, our original
Blue Collar Man.
Thanks for the memories, Rhett.
