Q. Why I Chose Binghamton University:
A- I chose to attend UAlbany because it was a promising program, and I was really impressed with the coaching staff and the surrounding environment.
Q. Favorite class and why:
A- Life skills because there were less notes and lecturing, it also involved more talking and activities. This Life Skills course was more interesting than my others classes, I learned more things which I can use every day.
Q. One thing I have learned at Binghamton that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is:
A- Basketball is a game of life lessons, not just a game.
Q. My Dream Job, other than the NBA/WNBA, is:
A- I would like to be a personal trainer or basketball trainer. I may want to coach too, I’m not sure yet. But I definitely want to stay involved in basketball.
Q. The person, other than my parents, who has had the most influence on me is, and why:
A- Is my AAU coach, he has always stuck with me and he has been like a father figure to me. He’s hard on me but I know he wants the best for me.
Q. The best thing about being a Binghamton Bearcat is:
A- It’s a small school so everyone knows who the basketball players are, and we are looked upon as stars. We are the main attraction in town.
Q. Most memorable moment as an athlete:
A- When I hit the game winner in an AAU tournament in Las Vegas in front of tons of college coaches
Q. What I did this week as a student (classes, tests, projects, study hall):
A- Well, nothing really because classes weren’t in session over the break. But when we have games its like studying the other team. We have scouting reports and intense film sessions.
Q. What I did this week as an athlete (practice, games):
A- We just had a game versus Hartford and we won. We lost on Saturday versus Boston University and got blown out because we weren’t focused.
Q. Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is:
A- Use basketball, don’t let basketball use you. Take advantage of what you can get from playing, like a free education.
Q. Why I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship:
A- Because I want to get to the NCAA tournament and I know we have to win the American East Conference tournament to get there.
