Tony Gaffney



2008-09 Redshirt Senior year Pre-season report from Head Coach Derek Kellogg: “Tony is one kid you wish you could have for twenty years and he brings an unbelievable enthusiasm and energy to the court every day. He's a very, very high energy athlete who plays above the rim. I'm excited to coach him, I'm hoping he plays with unbelievable confidence and can give us some stuff on the offensive end because I know he's going to rebound and defend and take charge and play at a high level. I just want him to be confident and play, and try to take guys on the offensive end and do those kinda things. He's kind of our heart and soul of the team along with Chris Lowe and Luke Bonner and he's the one who's going to bring the intangibles to the program.”

2007-08 Redshirt Junior year Pre-season report from Head Coach Travis Ford: “Tony is another player that is very versatile. He is going to be a factor because of his style of play that we are going to play this year. He is going to be able to press a lot. He is very versatile at the four position. He is tough to guard from the perimeter. Tony just has to continue to work on being tougher everyday and have more consistency. He transferred in prior to last season and worked with us all season on the scout team. Tony can be an offensive weapon. He can shoot the ball from outside, handle it well and drive on large defenders. He is very quick and has a long reach. He can also block shots. We are looking forward to him playing in 2007-08.”

2006-07 Junior year Redshirt season as a transfer from Boston University … can be an offensive weapon… a very versatile wing, he can handle the ball, shoot from outside and drive on larger defenders… very quick, with a long reach and good shot-blocking abilities… added over 20 pounds of muscle since he came to college.
