Recruiting Report: Ryan Nunn (2019)

Walk into a gym and you’re likely to see a game where kids are either pulling up from three or putting their head down and getting all the way to the rim. Then, there’s Ryan Nunn (2019), a 5’11” combo guard from Findlay, who specializes in swishing mid-range jumpers. “I’m best at getting to the mid-range pull-up jumper. That’s kind of what I go to first. Then, that will open up other things,” Nunn said. Furthermore, Nunn is efficient. He hardly ever wastes time with the ball by over-dribbling it. He simply finds soft spots in the defense and pulls up. But Nunn is looking to add some nuance to his game right now. “Right now, I’m trying to become a better three-point shooter. Then, if I hit a couple threes, then I can get to my jumper and drive-and-dish and that just opens a lot more things,” Nunn said. He continued by telling us that eliminating turnovers is another area of focus. It sounds like the Findlay Trojans need him to value the ball this upcoming season. “We’ll be probably out-sized. Probably won’t be the most athletic team. But, that’s where the off-season comes in to play. We want to be more skilled than anyone; and we want to be the most conditioned team,” Nunn said. Alongside team goals, Nunn is also hoping that Division II programs start recruiting him more heavily during his junior season. “I’ve been going to some Division II elite camps and been getting some good feedback from there. So I’m hoping this year will be the outbreak of some Division II schools,” Nunn said. At the moment, the colleges interested in Nunn are mainly NAIA programs. “St. Francis in Indiana, Goshen in Indiana, and Sienna Heights in Michigan,” Nunn said, when asked which particular schools are in contact with him. When looking at colleges, Nunn wants to find the right coaching staff. “I think the biggest thing will probably be the coaching staff ... I want them to be worried about winning, but I also want them to be worried about academics, I don’t want them to blow that away. Kind of on both sides of academics and winning,” Nunn said. After a strong summer with Northwest Ohio Basketball Club, we expect the 3.7 GPA student-athlete to turn the heads of coaching staffs for Findlay this winter.
