Now the Hilltoppers’ coach is chasing after a top candidate for the 2018 award.
Mercer County High School guard Trevon Faulkner visited WKU’s campus last week and was offered a scholarship by Stansbury.
Faulkner, one of the top rising seniors in the state, visited WKU shortly after Stansbury watched him play at an AAU tournament in Atlanta.

“He was a great guy to talk to, the environment was nice and I really liked it there.
