HUMBLE & HUNGRY | Steven "Abby" Ruple Jr.
It's different when your basketball peers request for you to be on the show and tell your story! The Harlem native is respected throughout NYC - and if you ever stepped foot in Dyckman park, it's no secret that Abby fills the seats night in and night out. Even Coach Mo Hicks recruited Abby to play for him at Rice High School, but with so many prospects coming in (including a lack of confidence at the time) he chose to take his talents to Thurgood Marshall Academy where he was mentored under a highly respected coach in Abdul Torrence. Although Abby wasn't recruited to his liking out of high school, he went off to Colorado to play for Adam State University - and was faced with a life or death situation when he came back home for the holidays. Steven "Abby" Ruple Jr. might not be your high caliber type of player - but when he laces up, you have to respect him! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
