Sammy Hunter brings veteran shot-making and late-game poise to Western Illinois
In the 2006-07 season, Sammy Hunter started all 30 games for Western Illinois and ranked second on the team in scoring at 11.0 points per game while leading the Leathernecks with 70 assists, a strong indicator of a guard who can both create and finish[1]. He also showed real clutch value, hitting a game-tying three to force overtime and a go-ahead three-point play to beat Oakland, which is the kind of composure coaches love in a backcourt fit[1]. Beyond the box score, he was a steady, multi-category contributor who could stuff the stat sheet and handle pressure moments[1].
