Rodney Pryor is ready to make a final, lasting impression

Rodney Pryor has one ultimate goal: to reach the NBA.

Many basketball players share that same vision and dream, and it's not an easy one to accomplish. For Pryor, he's used to things being difficult, circumventing through various tribulations and obstacles throughout his college basketball career. It hasn't been an easy road for the Evanston, Ill. native, but his triumph over adversity has helped keep his career going and his dream alive.

His first step out of high school at Notre Dame Prep (Ill.) began in Kirkwood Community College (Iowa), where he wasn't one of the premier players on the team.
