Meet Stanford’s Freshman Class
Stanford welcomes its newest
freshman class for the 99th season of Cardinal
basketball.
Guards Marcus and Malcolm Allen are
the fourth set of twins to play varsity basketball at
Stanford since 1960. Following a rich lineage of
Cardinal twins -- most recently Brook and Robin
Lopez, who were selected in the 2008 NBA Draft,
and Jason and Jarron Collins, who joined the
NBA after graduating in 2001 -- the Allens hail
from Las Vegas, NV, and turned 19 shortly before
arriving on campus in September. Marcus and
Malcolm have had a Stanford connection since
birth: their mother, Trina Wiggins, was a gymnast
at Stanford who graduated in 1982.
The Allens will add a welcome athleticism
to the Stanford lineup. Both are gritty defenders,

and Malcolm is known for his jump shot while
Marcus is a little bigger and tougher at the rim.
Schuyler Rimmer, from Orlando, FL, has
traveled across the country to join the Cardinal. A
center with size and strength, Rimmer plays with
physicality in the paint. Rimmer had a versatile
stat line in the Cardinal-White scrimmage: 2-of-2
free throw shooting, four rebounds and 2 blocks in
20 minutes.
Rounding out the class is Scott Woods, a
native Californian out of Simi Valley. Slender but
athletic, Woods is known for his shot-blocking
ability and agility. The forward saw only seven
minutes of action in the Cardinal-White
scrimmage but collected an impressive four
rebounds in that time.
