That's something you don't hear every day. GWHoops poster jerseyGWfan noticed that former GW big man Ferdinand "Ferd" Williams is in the background of this video with Kevin Sorbo, helping Hercules carry his bag of freebie crap. A couple other GWhoopsters confirm it's Ferd. He shows up about 1 minute in.
Mr. Williams was a popular big man from Perth Amboy, NJ, playing from 1993 to 1996. Post writer Matt Bonesteel liked him.
More stuff on Ferd after the jump.
I found this blurb from a 1995 Sporting News article ranking every team. Blast from the past:
Ferd was the #115 recruit in the country when GW got him, and that was the same year that Marcus Camby and Keon Clark (remember that guy?) came to the A-10.

I found this blurb from a 1995 Sporting News article ranking every team. Blast from the past:
#63 GEORGE WASHINGTON Last year's final ranking: 72 Since practice began: The Colonials have increased their contingent of Belarussians to four with the addition of 6-3 freshman point guard Andrei Krivonos, who should help fortify a thin backcourt. Expect Coach Mike Jarvis to give 6-5 sophomore Darin Green ample opportunity to earn time at one forward, and don't be surprised if electrifying 5-3 freshman point guard Shawnta Rogers is in school and eligible by mid-December. They'll win in March if: Jarvis can find a power player (junior Ferdinand Williams? freshman Yegor Mescheriakov?) to pair with 7-1 sophomore center Alexander Koul and gets some solid backcourt defense from Krivonos, Rogers or sophomore Rasheed Hazzard.Of course, Yegor's brother Nikita now plays at that school across Rock Creek.
