QUOTING COACH CROSS
"I am extremely excited to have Nick Stampley join our basketball program. We want winners in our program and Nick is a winner. Nick epitomizes the definition of an "OKG: Our Kinda Guy". He will do whatever it takes to win a basketball game; he will dive on the floor for a loose ball, take charges, get deflections, and takes pride in stopping the opposing team's best player."
