What is your current height and weight? "I
am 6' 9", 200."
Which position are you being recruited to play

me the 3, while others tell me the 4, but most
think I will play the 3 later on in my career,
so I say the 3."
What are your strengths on the court? "I
would say my strengths are shooting, blocking
shots, contesting shots, slashing to the basket,
posting up, taking the defender off of the dribble.
Really, a little of everything."
What are you trying to work on for the next level?

a quicker defender. And I am still working on
my jump shot."

23 pts, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots."
How did your team fare for the season? "We
made it to the Regionals, and I think we were
like 22-9."
Did you garner any awards for your play? "I
was named 1st Team All-State, All-West Tennessee,
All-Regional, and I was our District MVP. I led
West Tennessee in blocked shots, and I think I
was second in total rebounds."
Which colleges are recruiting you the hardest?

Chattanooga, Western Kentucky, Mississippi State,
MTSU, Georgia, and Virginia Tech."

and Western Kentucky have offered."
Which schools are at the top of your list? "Ole
Miss, MSU, and Auburn are my Top 3 schools."

important, and how I fit into their system. That
will be the main thing, just how I fit into their
system."

have a 2.4 GPA and I made a 16 ion my first attempt,
but I am taking that over the next time they give
