Stafford Makes Decision
Nick Stafford, a 6-foot-8, 190-pound forward who played last season at Worcester Academy in Worcester, Mass., signed with Dayton, according to a source close to Stafford.
Stafford, a player that RivalsHoops.com has watched on several occasions, is a very good athlete and strong enough to battle big bodies inside the paint. He has good leaping skills and can block some shots too.

The big question mark regarding Stafford's ability is his skill level. Stafford will need to improve his perimeter game to be a more effective player, especially for such a high quality program in Dayton. As his skill level improves, Stafford is likely going to make an impact.
There is a connection with Stafford to Dayton. Assistant coach Mo Cassara, an up and coming recruiter for the Dayton program, coached Stafford last season while he was the head coach at Worcester Academy.
Cassara built up one of the best prep programs while in charge of Worcester. Outstanding Big East player Craig Smith of Boston College also played for Cassara while at Worcester.
