Stanley Pringle

Pringle is the son of a former US Navy veteran and a Filipina mother.{{Cite web |date=August 17, 2014 |title=Stanley Pringle admits close Filipino ties factored in decision to join PBA rookie draft |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/stanley-pringle-abulug-cagayan-no-1-draft-pick-rookie-pba-draft-global |access-date=March 1, 2022 |website=Spin.ph |language=en}} Being in the US Navy, the Pringle family spent time in Korea and Japan. Pringle started playing basketball in a Japanese youth Navy league at the age of six. Because his basketball talent and skills were beyond those of his age group abroad, Stanley competed against older kids. After moving back to Virginia with his family, he was picked up by the Virginia Beach Heat, a local Amateur Athletic Union team coached by Steve Strausbaugh and Norman Hassell.

Pringle was the starting point-guard of Landstown High School in Virginia Beach for four years. As a senior, he averaged 18.3 points and 6.1 assists per game to lead his team to a 22–3 record and the Virginia Class AAA state tournament final. For these exploits, he was named first-team all-state by the coaches, second team by the Associated Press, and was named the Virginia Beach Player of the Year. Pringle scored 1,100 career points in his high school career and was the captain of the team for two years.

Pringle spent his first two years of college basketball at Pasco-Hernando State College, being the team captain under coach Bobby Bowman.{{Cite web |title=Stanley Pringle - Men's Basketball |url=https://gopsusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/stanley-pringle/558 |access-date=March 1, 2022 |website=Penn State University Athletics |language=en}} As a freshman, he led the Conquistadors to a third-place finish on a 15–15 record in the Suncoast Conference. This with per-game averages of 16.5 points and 3.8 assists earned him 2006 Suncoast Conference Freshman-of-the-Year and first-team all-conference honors. As a sophomore, he was 2007 Suncoast Conference Player-of-the-Year, first-team Florida Community College Athletic Association All-State selection, and earned an honorable-mention National Junior College Athletic Association All-American for leading his team to a 19–12 record on 18.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game.

He then transferred to play two years at Penn State. For the 2007–2008 season, Pringle played in all 31 games, starting 12 of them. He averaged 6.9 points and 2.3 assists per game, shot a team-best 40.9 percent from three-point range, and had seven double-digit scoring games. In 2008–09, Pringle helped his team win the National Invitation Tournament while averaging 12.75 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting 45.3% from the field and ranking 6th in the Big Ten in three point shooting percentage with 45%. Described as one of the quickest and fastest players in the conference, Pringle had his team's highest vertical leaping ability at 37 inches and won a pre-season Nittany Lion slam-dunk contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=453632 |title=A Marcus Douthit-Stanley Pringle Tandem for the Smart Gilas will be Explosive! |publisher=Pinoyexchange.com |date=June 25, 2010 |access-date=August 1, 2012}}
