“Training for me is ya know, getting up at 6 a.m., working out, lifting with our assistant coach, Coach Garnett. We get up [and] lift, I go to classes, come back, get up shots for 45 minutes or an hour. Then I meet back with him and get in an hour and a half of ball handling, shots off the dribble, post moves, various things. Depending on the day, either get up more shots or go to open gyms.”
“It’s been a crazy road. Lot of ups and downs. Lot of failure, probably one of the hardest times to go through is failing at something that you think you like. It was a tough start here at Whitman; we weren’t good. We didn’t have any direction, we kinda just threw things together. To see us come together as a team and bring in guys who play hard and compete hard everyday has been something really special; changing the culture here is something I’ll never forget. It’s all thanks to Coach Bridge and Coach Airy who have been there from the start and have guided me into the man that I am today.”
“The experience at the Portsmouth Invitational was amazing, and something that I will never forget. I was able to compete against the best college seniors in the country, and was able to prove to everyone that I belong there.”
“I just fell in love with the team right away. It was really fun to have this group of people that’s just this huge family that you get to be a part of.”
