Ryan's impact on this team was always measured beyond wins and losees on the basketball court. During the past season, Ryan exemplified leadership, heart and effort on the court. Off the court, it was magnified that much more.

To Mrs. Francis: Ryan was a role model for his teammates, friends and followed of the USC basketball program. It goes without saying that you raised a fine young man. Thank you for blessing us with his presence here in Southern California. His spirit will always live on amongst us.
