From Hall of Honor press release dated Oct. 25, 2019:

Daniel Russ is one of the finest men’s basketball players in Wittenberg history. A four-year letterwinner and three-year starter, Russ was a dominant post player who ranks among the program leaders in career points and rebounds. A three-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) selection and the 2005 NCAC Player of the Year, Russ capped his career by playing a key role in the Tigers’ unexpected run to the 2006 NCAA Division III Tournament championship game. Russ claimed All-Tournament team honors after the Tigers finished runners-up in the competition, pairing nicely with his second-team All-America award from d3hoops.com and back-to-back third-team All-America awards from the National Basketball Coaches Association. During Russ’ Wittenberg career, the Tigers recorded a sparkling 99-19 overall record while winning one NCAC regular season title and two NCAC Tournament crowns and advancing to the NCAA Division III Tournament three straight years. A native of Louisville, Ky., Russ currently resides in Columbus, Ohio.
