high-volume, high-upside Buckeye backcourt spark
In the 2003-04 season, Tony Stockman was Ohio State’s engine: he led the Buckeyes with 13.6 points per game, 74 assists, 61 steals, and 73 made threes while logging 972 minutes[1][3]. His calling card was a quick-trigger perimeter game paired with gambling, disruptive defense and real pace-setting energy—exactly the kind of guard who can flip a game in transition[1][6]. He wasn’t just a shooter; he could penetrate, find teammates, and bring veteran backcourt polish after transferring from Clemson[6].
