Personal goal at UofL is to develop himself in all aspects and win
He chose No. 6 because when he started to play basketball, his first coach’s number was 6… She passed away years ago and he chose that number to remember her and everything she did for him
He chose to attend UofL because it’s the best college basketball program he’s ever seen and experienced
He says the best thing about being a Cardinal is that it’s a challenge because all of his teammates are so great… he believes he can learn a lot from his teammates and coaches in order to become a better player
