“It feels good to be back,” said former University of Wisconsin basketball star Devin Harris. “There’s no place like Madison. It will always have a special place in my heart.”
The 25-year-old New Jersey Nets point guard was back on his old stomping grounds, signing autographs at Copps on Madison’s west side July 13. Harris took a little time out of his session to talk with The Madison Times.
“I got up to Coach [Bo] Ryan’s event yesterday and got to see a lot of the old players, and it was great talking with them,” said Harris, who has kept in contact with old teammates and coaches through e-mail but rarely gets a chance to see them as much anymore. “We got to catch up and see what everybody was doing, where they are playing, wives, kids, and all that other good stuff.”
