a former Billikens forward with a late-game clutch streak and a big-wing profile
Ross Varner was a 6-7 forward for Saint Louis who flashed real shot-making feel and poise in pressure moments, including a game-winner against Washington in the 2001 season and a 12-point second-half burst in that comeback win[3][14]. He fit the classic versatile wing-forward mold: size, perimeter touch, and enough confidence to take—and make—big shots, which is exactly the kind of sneaky-valuable skill set that can tilt a tight game[3][15].
