What Got Me Curious About Cormac Ryan’s Age
Noticed Cormac making headlines during March Madness playoffs last night. Heard commentators saying stuff like “veteran leadership” and “experienced playmaker.” Got me scratching my head – dude looks young but carries himself like he’s been around. Figured I’d check his birth year real quick between coffee sips.
My Frustrating Google Hunt
Typed “Cormac Ryan age” straight into Google. First results? Useless.
- ESPN profile showed height/weight but no birth date
- Wikipedia had his college stats page – still no personal details
- Random fan forums argued about his eligibility year – total mess
Added “birthday” to the search. Got flooded with:
- High school recruitment articles from 2018
- UNC roster pages listing jersey numbers
- Instagram fan accounts posting workout clips
Annoying! Everybody talked ABOUT him but nobody stated when he was born.
The Turning Point
Remembered college players usually have bios on official athletics sites. Pulled up , went straight to men’s basketball roster. Scrolled down – bam! Right there under his photo:
- Born: January 5, 2000
- Height/weight/position all confirmed
Verified it through Duke University archives too – he transferred from there in 2022. Their historical roster listed identical birth info. Took two clicks once I stopped chasing trash sites.
Epilogue & Takeaways
Born January 2000, making him 24 years old during this tournament run. Learned the hard way: mainstream sports sites bury basic info. Need to bypass media noise and hit official university sources directly. Saved future me 12 minutes of pointless clicking.
