IN HIS OWN WORDS
Tennessee: “Coach Rod (Clark) is definitely my guy. Our relationship is good. It’s like a big bro type of thing. He calls and checks up on me and sees how my games go. Tennessee plays hard and they fit my style with ball screens and stuff like that.”
Louisville: “Louisville’s getting off to a bad start, but I have a relationship with a couple people on their coaching staff. They definitely know a lot about the game, which is good, and they can also help me get to the next level.”

Kansas: “Kansas is really good, you know, coming off of what they just did last season. It’s really good, they’ve got a good culture over there and leadership.”
