You'll probably remember this then - Efrem used to slide a stick of Spearmint gum down the side of one of his socks before a game - an idiosyncrasy of his.If Efrem Winters had progressed as expected, he would rate higher in the best Illini centers. I'm old, so I remember his first 2 seasons, he looked like an All-American in the making. One of the best freshmen I have ever seen.
