New Article: “For Ferry, the carousel stops at Cornell”

Our friends over at the Cornall Basketball blog recently posted an article from the Ithaca Journal about Andrew and his upcoming season.  Enjoy reading it below…

By the time they departed Cornell, Steve Donahue’s coaching staff had become particularly adept at identifying, evaluating and recruiting transfer talent to Cornell. The staff’s final transfer, 6-foot-2 junior guard Andrew Ferry, is expected to help define the success levels of Bill Courtney’s first two years as new coach.

Donahue’s staff felt that, with Ferry, they added a player similar to immensely popular former guard Adam Gore – a guard that brought not only a dependable three-point stroke, but also a tough competitiveness to both ends of the floor and, perhaps most important, a compatible attitude. Now, Ferry is acclimating himself to his fourth school in four years (including his high school, Milwaukee Lutheran) and ready to finally settle down. Read the rest of this entry »

“Johnnie Reporter” Review

The Executive Director of the “Johnnie Reporter,” Larry Junker, wrote a little commentary on Faith in the Freshman.  Even though my alma mater closed almost a quarter of a century ago, the alumni remain active.  “Never will thy spirit die!”  Read Larry’s comments on the book…… Read the rest of this entry »

Robert Holst, President of Concordia-St. Paul, Comments on “Faith in the Freshman”

Now in my fourteenth year as the president of Concordia University Wisconsin, I have enough retrospect to be able to reflect on a few things with particular appreciation.  Among the many blessings I have enjoyed has been the opportunity to interact with my colleagues who are presidents across the Concordia University System.  One of them, Bob Holst, from Concordia-St. Paul, has announced his plan to retire at the end of this school year.  I will miss him a lot.  Read the rest of this entry »

Cornell Announced New Incoming Class

The Cornell University Athletic Department announced the incoming class for next year’s basketball team. Check out the story here.

Meanwhile Andrew is with his Athletes in Action team in China. It is hard to follow his progress considering we are traveling in Germany and Switzerland. We will have some stories to tell when we get home!

Brand New! “Faith in the Freshman” Feature with News Journalist Mark Concannon

Recently news journalist Mark Concannon visited Concordia’s campus and interviewed Andrew and me for a feature that he was producing on the book.  As you watch, please ignore my poor defensive skills.  It wasn’t that long ago that I could take Andrew one-on-one, was it?  Actually, it has been a few years, but those days are behind me.  I was disappointed that they didn’t use any of the deep bombs that I hit on the video.  Maybe there were none.  I don’t remember.

In any case, enjoy the feature.  Until somebody buys the movie rights to the book and puts “Faith in the Freshman” on film, or until the documentary is produced for an ESPN special, this will cover it pretty well!

FOX 6 interview of Jake Barnett and Andrew Ferry

Andrew and his friend, Jake Barnett, have been workout partners for a long time. I talk about Jake a little bit in Faith in the Freshman. In this video, Andrew is at the right place at the right time. FOX 6 was doing a feature on Jake’s trip to Bulgaria this summer with Athletes in Action. They also interviewed Andrew and both guys talk about their plans for next year.
