Former Wright State University (WSU) basketball player, Bill Wampler, has decided to take his talents overseas, and begin his professional career with Ehingen Urspring.
Ehingen Urspring is located in Ehingen, Germany, and they play in the ProA, the second German division.
“I’m excited to continue my career professionally. It wouldn’t have happened without the opportunity I was given to play at Wright State,” said Wampler in a press release.
Wampler transferred to WSU in 2017 from Drake University, which he feels put him in a great position to continue his career professionally.
“Coach Nagy and the staff have prepared me to prepare like a professional. I’m ready to continue playing games, and representing Wright State in a positive way,” said Wampler.
WSU Career
After redshirting his first year at WSU in the 2017 season, Wampler burst onto the scene in 2018 and scored 26 points in his Raider debut against Western Carolina.
Wampler went on to be named second team All-Horizon League in his first year as a Raider, and averaged 15 points per game, along with 3.4 rebounds and shot 36.4% from three-point range.
In his senior season, he was named second team All-Horizon League again. He started 28 games, and improved his numbers to 15.6 points per game, along with 4.5 rebounds and 40.6% from beyond the arc.
In his two seasons at WSU, he was a two-time second team All-Horizon League player, and named to the Horizon League’s All-Academic team during his senior season for his work in the classroom.
During the Gulf Coast Showcase in November 2019, Wampler scored a season-high 27 points against Weber State. On the very same night he recorded his 1,000 career collegiate point.
Wampler scored 1,006 total points at WSU and ended his collegiate career with 1,414 total points between WSU and Drake.
