a rugged 6-8 Rhode Island forward with size, rebounding, and old-school utility
Ryan Brooks has the classic glue-guy profile: at 6-8 and 220 pounds, he brought frontcourt size, rebounding, and defensive versatility to Rhode Island, appearing in 77 career games and making 22 starts for the Rams. In the 2012-13 season, he played in all 28 games and earned 12 starts, with a career-high 10 rebounds in a game showing his board-crashing value. He’s the kind of forward who helps a team by doing the gritty stuff, not by chasing highlight reels.
