Ross Neltner is a senior from Fort Thomas, Ky., who transferred from LSU following the 2004-05 season. Neltner will graduate in May with a degree in economics.
What was the most difficult part of transferring schools?
There was a lot of legwork, such as transferring classes and getting acclimated to campus, my teammates and coaches, and the different people around campus. That stuff was a burden, but it definitely paid off and it was a good move for me. Overall, it was much better for me to transfer than to stay there just because it was familiar.
What is it like playing for coach Kevin Stallings?
It is awesome. He is definitely a cerebral guy who is very intense. I’ve got so much respect for him as a person and coach. He is easy to get along with, and he is one of the best coaches in the league. I feel fortunate to be playing for him.
Golf is your second-favorite sport, how is your game?
I like to play, but I’m not any good. It’s a good day if I get in the double digits. If I’m around the mid to low 90s, then I’m Tiger Woods.
What would be your ultimate SportsCenter highlight?
Cutting down the nets at the NCAA Tournament.
