“I really enjoyed recruiting Brady,” said Stingers GM and Head Coach Jermaine Small. "He comes from a great family and their love for the game was very apparent. His passion for rebounding and wanting to become a Stinger fits in perfectly with our group. There is no doubt he will do whatever it takes to help us win."
