@YATittle posted:As someone who knew the guy in high school, I have to say he's a tremendous athlete (was a real force on the basketball team) and has a focus that will be necessary. He graduated early his senior year, missing basketball, so he could go play spring ball in college. Immediately changed his diet and hit the weight room hard so when he came back he looked like a different person. I was skeptical that he'd get a shot at starting so soon but sophomore year there he was ripping it up on a talented squad. The death of his dad, a police officer, had huge impact. He and Krys are as serious as five days of rain during this off-season, both understanding what you do between seasons sets you up for success in the fall. Their high school coach is a great guy and talks to them regularly. They've been here on campus a couple times recently and I've just missed them.
Really enjoyed reading about his relationship with Krys Barnes.
