Following successful careers as professional basketball players in the NBA and overseas, former Utah Valley University men's basketball standouts Ronnie Price and Ryan Toolson returned to UVU to finish their degrees. The two walked at Utah Valley's graduation this past weekend and received their Bachelor of Science diplomas in university studies.

Over his three seasons at Utah Valley, Price averaged 19.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 89 games. In his last two years, which count in UVU's NCAA record books, he ranks first in career scoring (22.2) and second in points scored (1,245).

Toolson played at Utah Valley during the 2003-04 season before serving an LDS Church mission to Guatemala from 2004-06. He then returned to play for the Wolverines from 2006-09. He is UVU's all-time leading scorer with 2,163 points—a record that may never be broken. He also holds UVU career records for field goals made (677), field goals attempted (1,421), three-point field goals made (315), three-point field goals attempted (730), three-point field goal percentage (43.2), free throws made (494), and free throw percentage (93.9).
