Personal Statement

 My collegiate goals are to Play basketball at the Collegiate Level and be successful while doing it, and eventually go to the Pros. What's makes me different is my attitude I am willing to do anything for the team if I need to be a role player i'll be that role player. If I need to play defense on whoever i'm going to say "Yes coach" and get it done. I am a very versatile player and Academic wise I will always have my work done on time.
