My main goals for this Freshman redshirt year are to put my Faith and Family first, make good decisions, get really good grades, play high-level basketball and getting the Team ready for thier games. I believe that I have a strong set of values to live by that my family has instilled in me. As a guy who has been told he was too small to play basketball, I will bring that "I'll show you" attitude to the court at all times. My Godfather played football (Rutgers U. 82-HOF '98) and went Pro (Detroit Lions), and my father played basketball @ a Jr.College, which gives me a bunch of knowledge & experience to fall back on. I was never the tallest or the fastest, but I always had heart & I took every opportunity to get better. In my sophomore year, I tried out for the school team and didn't make it, then I lost focus for a while & my grades slipped. It took me 2 years to make up for that lost year, but with the help of my Faith, parents & AAU coaches I fought back, made mostly A's & B's in my Jr. & Sr. years, became the leader on my AAU team in scoring/assists /steals and graduated on time. I will contribute to a team by doing whatever is necessary to help the team win and the program excel. I want to be an extension of my Coach on the floor, knowing that the execution of the Coaches game plan & the mental toughness to do that, is more important than so many other parts of the game.
