He was an All-American and All-Big Ten player for the Illinois Fighting Illini.

1952

Ridley, a diminutive but quick 5ft 9in point guard, went to Taylorville High School in Taylorville, Illinois While there, he was a unanimous all-state performer as a senior in 1952.

In Ridley's senior season, the Illini started a potent scoring lineup with Brother, Paul Judson and George Bon Salle in the frontcourt with Ridley running the attack from the perimeter.

Ridley led the team's Fast Break, using his speed and ballhandling to push the ball ahead off of the team's strong rebounding ability.

Ridley finished the year averaging 15.3 points per game and at the close of the season was named All-Big Ten and as a third-team All-American by both the Associated Press (AP) and UPI.
