Reflecting on Freshman Season

"Ups and downs, but I got a lot better. The game started to slow down. I got better at thinking the game... being in the right spots defensively and offensively. I got better at handling physicality on drives.”

Areas of Growth Since Stepping Foot On Campus

"I got stronger, became a better driver. Got more comfortable getting my shot off faster."

On Nike Hoop Summit Experience With The Portland Generals in 2023

"It was great. Any platform I get to play against the top players in high school is an amazing opportunity. I was able to showcase what I can do and I feel like I made the most of the opportunity."

"Shooter. Loves left-wing threes. Left-hand driver, watch out for pump fakes. Off the dribble, watch for the hesitation left, and drive."

On Decision To Enter The Transfer Portal

"Looking for a better fit. Coach Shrewsberry is a great coach. Their offense is mostly 4 guards around 1 big. I’m more of a stretch four so it was a tough fit at times. I'm looking for a different look offensively… Faster pace, grab-and-go-off the glass.”
