Three years ago, Ricky Torres wasn't playing basketball.
Then he got a chance to return to the court at Missouri State-West Plains, where Torres just completed his sophomore season and was named a junior college All-American after averaging 17.2 points and 8.1 assists per game, second-most in the nation on the assists.
It's that type of potential in the 6-foot-3 point guard that has made Torres a target for Gregg Marshall and Wichita State, which has two scholarships remaining to dole out in its 2018 recruiting class following Friday's commitment of Jamarius Burton.
"He's come a long ways in two short years and I really feel, as good as he is and all that he's accomplished, he's only going to get better at the next place he goes," Missouri State-West Plains coach Chris Popp told the Eagle of Torres.
