The following was printed on Anthony Staffney's HOF plaque:
In his first year eligible for the SHU Hall of Fame, Anthony Staffney was a unanimous selection by the committee. Staffney is considered one of the best two-way players who played during a period in which the Saints were a WHAC conference and NAIA national basketball power.
In 1998, Staffney became the first and only player from Siena Heights named to the 1st-Team NAIA All-America Team. In 1997, he received the NAIA Hustle Award and was named to the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball All-Tournament Team after helping the Saints to a runner-up finish. That same year he was named the Most Valuable Player at the National Catholic Basketball Tournament. Staffney ranks #1 all-time in steals, #2 in assists and #10 in points scored in the SHU record books at the time of his induction. Staffney was also selected to three All-WHAC Teams, two All-WHAC Defensive Teams, and was named the team MVP three times during his four-year career.
