Coach Brandon Williams on Fred Orock: "We're very pleased with how far Fred has come along on the court and as a leader off the court. He is a high flier on the court -- he runs the floor well but he can play down in the paint when needed. Off the court, he helps out in practices a lot and works hard on his academics. He is a great young man and an asset to our program."
