As scholarships go, it’s a rags to riches story. Ramiro Santiago went from being a walk on at Seward County from Argentina, to a full ride at an NCAA school. Santiago signed to play basketball at NCAA Division 2 Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas.
Santiago had a solid sophomore season for the 17-14 Saints. He averaged seven points per game and drastically improved his defense. Santiago was a threat from beyond the arch making 34 three pointers and connecting on 34 percent of his shots from distance. Ramiro is a 6’3″ 19o pound wing from Bahia Blanca, Argentina. Santiago will join a Harding program coached by Jeff Morgan which went 9-19 this winter.
