MEN'S BASKETBALL: Ferris Recruit Excels After Signing With Bulldogs

Jared Stolicker, one of the cornerstones of Ferris State University's 2011-12 men's basketball recruiting class, is playing far more relaxed now that he has committed to the Bulldogs.

Stolicker, a 6-foot-9 center from Middleville, is playing strong basketball of late according to a Grand Rapids Press article:

Now that he has accepted a full ride to Ferris State University, the Middleville senior’s sole focus is to have a solid final season and show off his skills to West Michigan.

He’s made a great impression on everybody. His fourth consecutive double-double, this time 28 points and 16 rebounds, was enough as the Trojans scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat Fremont, 57-47, in the first game of Monday’s Red Hawk Holiday Tournament.

Middleville (2-2) will face the host Red Hawks (2-3) in tonight’s championship at 7:30. Cedar Springs defeated Kent City, 43-26, in the final game of the evening.

“I’ve been just more relaxed because there hasn’t been so much pressure to decide where to play (in college),” Stolicker said.

A big season should be the perfect springboard for Stolicker into what the Bulldogs hope is a strong college career on the hardwood.
