Ambrose put the Dayton Flyers in his final 10 in August. Dayton offered Ambrose, who's from Toronto, Ont., a scholarship in November. He's a 6-foot-8 forward from the International Sports Academy at Andrews Osborne Academy in Willoughby, Ohio.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Head Coach Grant, his Coaches and their Families, the Academic Staff of Dayton University and the entire community of Dayton for hosting my mom and me this weekend!
