Great job this weekend at Battle. Talk about your play at the event?
“I knew it was a big tournament coming in. I woke up early in the morning on Friday to get some extra shots in. It translated into the game.”
What do you feel your strengths are for those who haven’t seen you play?
“Offensive rebounding. Driving to the lane. I need to work on my three and my free throws could improve.”
What do you like about playing with QC Ballers on the circuit?
“I grew up with all of them. It is cool winning games with people I grew up with.”
Are you hearing from any colleges yet?
