KAMLOOPS – WolfPack post Greg Stewart, who was named TRU’s 2005/06 most improved player and ended the regular Canada West conference season 3rd in field goal percentages and 4th in blocked shots, will not be playing for the Pack this year.
After two successful seasons with the team, the 7’2″ player from Kamloops has decided that he needs some time away.
“After considerable thought, I have made the difficult decision to take a break from basketball and school,” said Stewart. “I would like to sincerely thank my family and friends, the people of Kamloops, and Nevin Gleddie for all of their support and generosity.”
“This was a shock to all of us,” said WolfPack men’s basketball head coach Nevin Gleddie. “I hoped that Greg would have completed his eligibility here as he was just getting to the point where he was an impact player in the league. I would love to have seen how good he could be in his 4th and 5th years. That said, I am excited about the young group that is here.We aren’t overly big in the post but will be a better shooting team and better defensive team than last season, so now we will move on and put our effort and attentions toward those that are here.”
The men’s basketball team plays its first home games of the season when the WolfPack hosts the McDonald’s Desert Classic exhibition tournament October 13th and 14th at the TRU gym. The team plays its first CIS game at home in the TRU gym on October 28th vs CIS newbies UCFV Cascades
