He is also known for his work ethic day in and day out, both in and out of season, as well as for being successful in the classroom.</p><p>"The first thing you'll notice about Lanerryl is that he has tremendous speed and quickness to his game," Payne said. "He has a great work ethic and desire to be successful."</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNJ9zDl184fJBaFOj5Sitcf5v8q-li1Jt-Eq6mvWQU1ds4jDUtzotidyXZ5OxXABVrWIL_mlRJjK92JdvyXT_4d36uw4hxNkCLX45vD2-tiH5Jn_HGwP5-UmocXGthMwN0HZdOoN42geD/s1600/Ryon+Riggins.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNJ9zDl184fJBaFOj5Sitcf5v8q-li1Jt-Eq6mvWQU1ds4jDUtzotidyXZ5OxXABVrWIL_mlRJjK92JdvyXT_4d36uw4hxNkCLX45vD2-tiH5Jn_HGwP5-UmocXGthMwN0HZdOoN42geD/s320/Ryon+Riggins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608127830423651250" border="0" /></a>The staff will also welcome Ryon Riggins, a native of Suwanee, Ga., this upcoming season. Riggins is a power forward standing at 6'9" from North Gwinnett High School, averaging 11 points and 12 rebounds per game. A player under Zach Smith, Riggins is an up-tempo forward who moves up and down the floor well, with an intuition that allows him to find the ball in transition.</p><p>In addition to being the biggest player on his high school team his senior season, Riggins was also tagged the most coach-able by Smith. A good listener and a quick learner, Smith says that Riggins displays a willingness to work every day.</p>"Ryon is a player that has what we call a high ceiling," Payne continued. "He has quick feet and, like most big men, will continue to grow and mature as a player at a different pace."Tennessee Tech Basketballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16511025077381307357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540442928937753004.post-18871072394978140302011-05-18T13:25:00.001-05:002011-05-18T13:26:46.359-05:00Tech's newest head coach, Steve Payne, interviews with National Hoops Report<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpJoJZ6H_tv-WuQTVAx6loG9GkBIg1wSHmC3Ht4Ekqh-LwpIoeMYCVh5FO1FYGxPWL35wpyM8q0-u3YVUVHCUN9pwa6shO9rXqbA97qQ72FarFdeTnpSxYU6sr_vWPQsQ0loBtT970JG-/s1600/5+18+paynes+game.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 478px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpJoJZ6H_tv-WuQTVAx6loG9GkBIg1wSHmC3Ht4Ekqh-LwpIoeMYCVh5FO1FYGxPWL35wpyM8q0-u3YVUVHCUN9pwa6shO9rXqbA97qQ72FarFdeTnpSxYU6sr_vWPQsQ0loBtT970JG-/s320/5+18+paynes+game.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608124238570856274" border="0" /></a><br /><br />National Hoops Report's Justin Young recently caught up with Tech's newest head coach, Steve Payne, to discuss his promotion from the associate head coach spot to the top dog position.
