An Erie, Pa., native, Hollis accumulated 1,905 career points, with the 1976-77 season being his best as he averaged 21.8 points per game in leading the Bonnies to the 1977 NIT Championship in his final season with the team.
Hollis enjoyed a tremendously successful career. When he retired, he ranked 5th in career points (1,905), and 2nd in career rebounds (977).Â
His 17.5 points per game average over his career, coupled with his career rebounding average of 8.9, merited his selection to the ECAC All-Star Team twice (1976, 1977). Hollis was the co-captain of the NIT Championship team and helped lead the team to 72 wins in his four-year career.
He was a Second Round draft choice of the New Orleans Jazz in 1977, and also played for the Detroit Pistons (1978-79).
Hollis was inducted into the St. Bonaventure Hall of Fame in 1988. His jersey #25 is retired along with Earl Belcher.Â
