Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy had plenty of stars he could talk about from an 85-62 rout of Southern last week. But one of his players he was most eager to praise didn’t even score a point.
Starting in place of the injured Bill Wampler, Jordan Ash went 0-for-2 from the field but had four assists, three rebounds and one steal without committing a turnover in 25 minutes — and was just happy to contribute to a win.
“He handles the ball like a point guard. He’s incredibly strong. He’s a good passer. And he’s a real unselfish guy,” Nagy said. “If he scores, he’s OK. If he doesn’t score, he’s all right.”
The grad transfer from Northwestern, who had a season-high nine points against Indiana State on Dec. 7, was expected to provide some maturity for a team relying on plenty of youth. He’s a battle-tested fifth-year senior, after all.
But Nagy said: “Even more than that, he’s a little bit of an old soul. It’s less about his age, and more about his personality.”
Yep, Ash said, that’s a description that probably fits.
