School Nickname
“Bronchos” was the nickname selected for Central Oklahoma
in 1922 by Mrs. C.W. Wantland, wife of long-time UCO football
coach C.W. Wantland. The name was chosen from a number of
suggestions for the name of UCO’s football team and became the
nickname for all athletic teams at the school.
Mrs.Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s
Clubasaresultofselectingthenickname,becomingthefirstwoman
admitted to that organization.
School Colors
BronzeandbluewerechosenasCentralOklahoma’sschoolcolors

Murdaugh. The first public display of the bronze and blue was
in Guthrie when a student represented UCO in the first oratorical
contest ever held in Oklahoma.

Cameron Henderson
In his first year as Central Oklahoma’s assistant men’s basketball coach is Cameron
Henderson, who came to the Bronchos in July 2015 after a highly-successful three-year
stint at Connors State College.
Henerson spent the last three years as assistant coach at Connors, helping the Cowboys
go 79-18 during that span while qualifying for the junior college national tournament
twice.
A three-time All-State performer at Hall High School in Little Rock, Ark., Hender-
son started his college career at Connors in 2007. He was a two-time All-Bi-State
Conference and All-Region II selection for the Cowboys before signing with Division
I Montana State.
Cameron was a two-year letterman for the Bobcats and then stayed on as a student assistant coach. He re-
turned to Connors as assistant coach in 2012.
The Cowboys went 24-9 in 2012-13, followed with a 23-7 campaign and conference championship in 2013-
14 and then had a 32-2 record last season while winning conference and regional titles. Connors made the
national tournament in 2013 and ’15, advancing to the Elite Eight last year.
Henderson recruited the 2014 and ’15 Region II MVP award winners and 11 players signed with Division I
schools during his tenure at Connors.
Cameron is married (Kiesha) and has two children (Jaylin and Mirasia).
Assistant Coach

Serving in his first season as Central Oklahoma’s graduate assistant coach is Daniel
Wheeler.

coach for operations at Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Mis-
souri Western.
Daniel worked the previous three years as a student manager/assistant coach at
Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa, helping the Mavericks to a best-ever 27-4 record and
conference championship.
A native of Burden, Kan., Wheeler was a four-year standout in football, basketball
and baseball at Central High School.
Graduate Assistant Coach
2015-16 UCO BASKETBALL
6
Strassle netted 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds a year ago and
is a key team leader with 3-point range who does a lot of the
little things that helps the Bronchos succeed.
The athletic Byford is capable of taking over a starting role
and becoming a big-time contributor this season after averag-
ing 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds last season.
Kilborn and Thelen will be looking to play increased roles
after seeing limited time in 2014-15.
Redshirt freshmen Taylor Hicks (5-11, 170) and Jace Kerr
(6-6, 200) are also back from last year, while
senior CalAndrews (6-
7, 200) will sit out the
season with injury after
averaging 8.5 points
and 3.2 rebounds in
2014-15.
The Bronchos added
six newcomers in ju-
nior transfers Corey
Alpough (6-6, 187),
Kendahl Amerson (6-
3, 200) and Cornell Neal
(5-11, 187) and freshmen
Cooper Clark (6-1, 165), Josh
Holliday (5-9, 165) and Jordan
London (6-0, 180).
Neal is expected to vie for
a starting berth, while Al-
pough, Amerson, Holliday
and London should all see
extensive action. Clark is
expected to redshirt.
Alpough and Neal played together in
junior college, with Alpough averaging
12.9 points and 8.9 rebounds a game last
year while Neal netted 11.5 points and 5.7
assists. Amerson redshirted at Division I
Bradley last year, but is a deadly 3-point shooter
who made 81 treys in averaging 17.5 points a game
in the juco ranks in 2013-14.
“We have good depth and a lot of guys who can shoot
the ball,” Hankins said. “We’re not as worried about what we
can do offensively as we are how well we can defend and
rebound. Those are areas we really need to improve on.
“Our main objective is to get better each and every day.
Making the effort to improve every time we step on the court
is key for us and I think our guys understand that.”
Another rugged MIAA schedule awaits, but Hankins feels
his team is ready.
“Obviously I haven’t been through it yet, but I know this
is a tough league and there are no off nights,” Hankins said.
“You have to come out ready to play from the opening tip in
every game and I expect us to do that.”
new coach and a new system may require an early
adjustment period, but Central Oklahoma appears
more than capable of challenging for Mid-America
Intercollegiate Athletics Association supremacy
in 2015-16.
First-year head coach Tom Hankins came to the Bronchos
last May with 18 years of Division I assistant coaching expe-
rience and inherited a UCO team with eight lettermen back
from a 20-10 team that tied for third in the league, including
six who started at least four games.
Several newcomers will also look to have an immediate
impact and Hankins is excited about what his team can ac-
complish this season.
“We’re very pleased with how hard the team has been work-
ing,” said Hankins, who spent 15 years at Oral Roberts and
three at Southern Illinois-Carbondale prior to taking over the
UCO helm. “They’ve done a great job of buying into a new
coaching staff and a new way of doing things.
“This is a fun group to get in the gym with every day and
I’m looking forward to seeing how we continue to grow
as the season progresses.”
Set to lead the Bronchos are a trio of players who
made 17-plus starts last year -- seniors Seth Heckart
(6-0, 175) and Trai Jordan (6-6, 225) and sopho-
more Garen Wright (6-4, 210).
Heckart is the team’s undisputed leader and
one of the top long-range shooting threats in
the conference, with the scrappy, do-every-
thing veteran intent on finishing his career
in style. He averaged 10.6
points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5
assists and 1.6 steals a
game last year while
making 73 treys.
Jordan is a rugged
inside force who should be the team’s
top rebounder and shot-blocker. He aver-
aged 6.6 points and a team-high 5.1 rebounds
a contest last season to go with 27 blocks and is
looking to be more of an offensive threat this
winter.
The explosive Wright has the ability to
score inside or out and is poised to take
on an even bigger role after averaging 9.7
points and 3.7 rebounds a game last year.
UCO’s other returning lettermen are seniors
Jarred Bairstow (6-7, 230) and Jacob Strassle (6-3, 220),
juniors Corbin Byford (6-7, 220) and Logan Thelen (7-0,
220) and sophomore Garrett Kilborn (6-5, 210).
Bairstow averaged 4.9 points and 3.1 rebounds a contest
last season, has started a handful of games the past two years
and is capable of really helping the Bronchos inside with his
size and strength.

over Missouri Western in the first round of the Mid-America Intercollegiate
Athletics Association Post-season Tournament.
The Bronchos overcame a 17-point deficit, taking the final lead on Brown’s
follow shot with 11 seconds left and then using stout defense to thwart the
Griffons’ last chance. It was the fifth straight win for UCO, which improved to
20-9 in reaching the 20-win plateau for the 22nd time in school history game.
Brown and Heckart finished with 19 points apiece to lead the way, with
Brown adding 10 rebounds. Cal Andrews chipped in 12 points and four steals.

just ahead of the final buzzer refused to fall and the Bronchos dropped a hard-
fought 67-66 battle to No. 18-ranked Central Missouri in the quarterfinals of
the Mid-America IntercollegiateAthleticsAssociation Post-season Tournament.
UCO had overcome 12-, 13- and 17-point deficits in their last three wins, but
the defending national champion Mules built a 14-point second-half advantage
and were just able to hold on. The Bronchos ended the season 20-10.
Brown, Trai Jordon and Seth Heckart had 11 points apiece to lead UCO,
with Jordan and Heckart also pulling down seven rebounds each.

  • 6. 2015-16 UCO BASKETBALL 4 Head Coach “Whenever you put together a staff, there is one guy who you feel like you absolutely need to hire. Hiring Coach Hankins was my point of emphasis since day one. He’s very well respected in the Division I ranks and there’s no question in my mind that he is head coaching material.” - Barry Hinson, head coach, Southern Illinois-Carbondale “In his 15 years at Oral Roberts Coach Hankins was a huge part of our success. He’s an excellent Xs and Os coach and motivator. Tom has prepared him- self well to be a head coach and he’ll be a great one when he gets t h e c h a n c e . ” - Scott Sutton, head coach, Oral Roberts. Tom Hankins Long-time Division I assis- tant coach Tom Hankins is in his first year at the helm of the Central Oklahoma program.

ORU captured six Summit League championships and made three NCAA Division I national tourna- ment appearances during Hankins’ tenure there. He also helped recruit forward Caleb Green, who scored 2,503 points and grabbed 1,189 rebounds during his career while winning Summit League Player of the Year honors three times. Hankins went to SIU in 2012 as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator, spending three seasons there before coming to UCO. Tom was a prep stand- out at Thomas Edison High School in Tulsa, finishing as the school’s career assists leader and earning Tulsa World All- Metro honors as a senior. He went on to play two years at Northeast- ern Oklahoma A&M and two years at Northeastern State, ranking among the national leaders in assists as a senior with the RiverHawks. Hankins started his coaching career as a graduate as- sistant at NEO and he also had stops at Frank Phillips College, Northwest Missouri and Tulsa East Central High School before getting hired at ORU.

  • 7. 2015-16 UCO BASKETBALL 5 Cameron Henderson In his first year as Central Oklahoma’s assistant men’s basketball coach is Cameron Henderson, who came to the Bronchos in July 2015 after a highly-successful three-year stint at Connors State College. Henerson spent the last three years as assistant coach at Connors, helping the Cowboys go 79-18 during that span while qualifying for the junior college national tournament twice. A three-time All-State performer at Hall High School in Little Rock, Ark., Hender- son started his college career at Connors in 2007. He was a two-time All-Bi-State Conference and All-Region II selection for the Cowboys before signing with Division I Montana State. Cameron was a two-year letterman for the Bobcats and then stayed on as a student assistant coach. He re- turned to Connors as assistant coach in 2012. The Cowboys went 24-9 in 2012-13, followed with a 23-7 campaign and conference championship in 2013- 14 and then had a 32-2 record last season while winning conference and regional titles. Connors made the national tournament in 2013 and ’15, advancing to the Elite Eight last year. Henderson recruited the 2014 and ’15 Region II MVP award winners and 11 players signed with Division I schools during his tenure at Connors. Cameron is married (Kiesha) and has two children (Jaylin and Mirasia). Assistant Coach Daniel Wheeler Serving in his first season as Central Oklahoma’s graduate assistant coach is Daniel Wheeler. Wheeler came to the Bronchos after spending the past two years as student assistant coach for operations at Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Mis- souri Western. Daniel worked the previous three years as a student manager/assistant coach at Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa, helping the Mavericks to a best-ever 27-4 record and conference championship. A native of Burden, Kan., Wheeler was a four-year standout in football, basketball and baseball at Central High School. Graduate Assistant Coach
  • 8. 2015-16 UCO BASKETBALL 6 Strassle netted 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds a year ago and is a key team leader with 3-point range who does a lot of the little things that helps the Bronchos succeed. The athletic Byford is capable of taking over a starting role and becoming a big-time contributor this season after averag- ing 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds last season. Kilborn and Thelen will be looking to play increased roles after seeing limited time in 2014-15. Redshirt freshmen Taylor Hicks (5-11, 170) and Jace Kerr (6-6, 200) are also back from last year, while senior CalAndrews (6- 7, 200) will sit out the season with injury after averaging 8.5 points and 3.2 rebounds in 2014-15. The Bronchos added six newcomers in ju- nior transfers Corey Alpough (6-6, 187), Kendahl Amerson (6- 3, 200) and Cornell Neal (5-11, 187) and freshmen Cooper Clark (6-1, 165), Josh Holliday (5-9, 165) and Jordan London (6-0, 180). Neal is expected to vie for a starting berth, while Al- pough, Amerson, Holliday and London should all see extensive action. Clark is expected to redshirt. Alpough and Neal played together in junior college, with Alpough averaging 12.9 points and 8.9 rebounds a game last year while Neal netted 11.5 points and 5.7 assists. Amerson redshirted at Division I Bradley last year, but is a deadly 3-point shooter who made 81 treys in averaging 17.5 points a game in the juco ranks in 2013-14. “We have good depth and a lot of guys who can shoot the ball,” Hankins said. “We’re not as worried about what we can do offensively as we are how well we can defend and rebound. Those are areas we really need to improve on. “Our main objective is to get better each and every day. Making the effort to improve every time we step on the court is key for us and I think our guys understand that.” Another rugged MIAA schedule awaits, but Hankins feels his team is ready. “Obviously I haven’t been through it yet, but I know this is a tough league and there are no off nights,” Hankins said. “You have to come out ready to play from the opening tip in every game and I expect us to do that.” new coach and a new system may require an early adjustment period, but Central Oklahoma appears more than capable of challenging for Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association supremacy in 2015-16. First-year head coach Tom Hankins came to the Bronchos last May with 18 years of Division I assistant coaching expe- rience and inherited a UCO team with eight lettermen back from a 20-10 team that tied for third in the league, including six who started at least four games. Several newcomers will also look to have an immediate impact and Hankins is excited about what his team can ac- complish this season. “We’re very pleased with how hard the team has been work- ing,” said Hankins, who spent 15 years at Oral Roberts and three at Southern Illinois-Carbondale prior to taking over the UCO helm. “They’ve done a great job of buying into a new coaching staff and a new way of doing things. “This is a fun group to get in the gym with every day and I’m looking forward to seeing how we continue to grow as the season progresses.” Set to lead the Bronchos are a trio of players who made 17-plus starts last year -- seniors Seth Heckart (6-0, 175) and Trai Jordan (6-6, 225) and sopho- more Garen Wright (6-4, 210). Heckart is the team’s undisputed leader and one of the top long-range shooting threats in the conference, with the scrappy, do-every- thing veteran intent on finishing his career in style. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 steals a game last year while making 73 treys. Jordan is a rugged inside force who should be the team’s top rebounder and shot-blocker. He aver- aged 6.6 points and a team-high 5.1 rebounds a contest last season to go with 27 blocks and is looking to be more of an offensive threat this winter. The explosive Wright has the ability to score inside or out and is poised to take on an even bigger role after averaging 9.7 points and 3.7 rebounds a game last year. UCO’s other returning lettermen are seniors Jarred Bairstow (6-7, 230) and Jacob Strassle (6-3, 220), juniors Corbin Byford (6-7, 220) and Logan Thelen (7-0, 220) and sophomore Garrett Kilborn (6-5, 210). Bairstow averaged 4.9 points and 3.1 rebounds a contest last season, has started a handful of games the past two years and is capable of really helping the Bronchos inside with his size and strength.
