Parkside Athletics

Al-Haj Jameel Ghuari, known as Chuck Chamblis during his outstanding basketball career at UW-Parkside, scored 1,334 points from 1971-1974. The first major recruit to be signed from Racine, Jameel was nicknamed “The Original Ranger.” His presence on the court became a cornerstone around which the national caliber teams of the seventies were built. As point guard, Jameel did it all. From aggressive defense to prolific scoring, his hustle and understanding of the game made him the key player who helped the 1972-73 team achieve UW-Parkside’s first 13-win season.
