Farewell Ryan Woolridge

[Coach Andy Mac]

Meanwhile in North Texas, Ryan Woolridge was preparing for a grad transfer senior season at a mid-level, major conference school. He had narrowed his choices to Minnesota, Oklahoma State or Arkansas but first he had to recover from two screws being inserted in his kneecap to correct a stress fracture. Gonzaga previously contacted Woolridge about possibly transferring, but then told him they’d decided to go in a different direction.

When Gonzaga contacted him again in June, he said it was just in time. If they had waited another week, he’d have committed elsewhere. A trip to Spokane with his parents to meet the coaching staff, the players and tour the facility changed his future. A few days later, he was a Bulldog.

Some very high praise for Woolridge:

Fans were hoping for solid, but it soon became clear what they got was spectacular. Woolridge was a revelation. With apologies to Demetri Goodson, he may have been the fastest player with the ball in Gonzaga history. He gave the offense a shot of Nitrous Oxide, pushing the ball up the court on every possession without playing out of control. His drives to the rim were spectacular and he demonstrated an assortment of acrobatic shots with both hands. He also reminded fans of Perkins on several occasions firing laser-like pinpoint passes to teammates.

I do feel bad that Ryan never got to play in a NCAA tournament game

I feel much worse that the NT team didn't get to play in the tournament.
