Over the last two years, Rick Stansbury has taken step after step in the right direction in an effort to revitalize WKU’s basketball program.

Last year, the Hilltopper head coach (almost) landed a five-star recruit, brought in Kentucky's Mr. Basketball, scored a win over a top-25 opponent, made a run to the Conference USA Tournament Championship game, made a run to the semifinal of the NIT, and then landed a five-star commit that it looks like he’ll keep this time.
