Coach Cross on Dressler:
"Jordan is a super skilled post player. He can play power forward or center and gives us a lot of options because he can also play facing the basket. He is strong, tough, tremendously skilled, knows how to use his body and has good footwork. He comes from a basketball family and knows how to play the game."
