Rickey went into his senior year as one of the top recruited players in Central

After his pro career Rickey
joined the OHoops Team, where he had been training most of his life. OHoops was
more than excited to have Coach Rickey finally join up with them and bring his
basketball abilities and expertise to the table. One characteristic about
Rickey that make him such a great trainer, beyond his physical abilities, is
that he has an uncanny ability to relate to every player that walks into the
Lab..
