The Japan Times ranked Cornell alum, Ryan Rourke ('06) as the Japan BJ Legauge's 19th best player for the recently completed 2008-2009 season. The Japan Times writes:19) Ryan Rourke — An Ivy League product, Rourke was the expansion Lakestars' brightest and best player, helping set a standard of excellence for future Shiga standouts will strive to reach.
A 200 cm forward, he scored 17.2 ppg and was a pest on defense, leading the team with 73 steals.
Bottom line: Rourke is one of Shiga's building blocks for the future.
Or as Pierce put it: "Ryan may be one of the most versatile players in the bj-league. From game to game, he does whatever it takes to help his team win: scoring, rebounding, defending. Plus his willingness to step in and take a charge, or an elbow to the face, separate him from many of the other talented players in the league."
