This announcement would not have been possible without all of the people who got me to this point in my life. Special shout-out to the @nbaacademy, the Center of Excellence, my ACT State Team, and everyone at Marist for investing in my development as a player on the court and a person off of it. And, most importantly, thank you to my family, whose support has held me down through all the ups and downs. I’m extremely grateful to Gonzaga and their coaching staff for the opportunity to represent the navy and white and can’t wait to get to work next year !
