Stanford Bolts Back with Big New Faces | Stanford Cardinal Basketball News

Stanford basketball is firing on all cylinders after losing star scorer Ebuka Okorie to the NBA draft, and they’ve answered the call with a blockbuster roster overhaul. The Cardinal landed Ivy League Player of the Year Nick Townsend — a versatile 6’7” forward with nearly 16 points and 7 rebounds per game plus an extra year of eligibility. They also added towering seven-footer Austin Maurer from Seattle, who brings size and energy, and secured a major recruiting coup with Aziz Olajuwon, son of Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon. With a grueling 18-game home slate and nine ACC matchups ahead, Stanford’s revamped squad is primed to break through their recent .500 ceiling and make serious noise in one of college basketball’s toughest conferences.
