From an article written by Ed Daigneault in the Waterbury Republican American this morning, Mount Zion assistant coach Cortez Brown described Whaley as a high-energy player who is thrives in the open-court game Ollie wants the Huskies to play.
“He’s got a motor,” said Brown, who has known Whaley since he was in middle school. “He has all the intangibles. He can block shots, run the court, rebound, protect the rim, all the things you want a guy with his athletic ability to do. He’s also a high-character kid. I’ve seen him mature a lot in the past few years. He just puts his head down and goes to work.”
“He’s a double-double machine, but he knows he has to get stronger to play like that at the Division I level. He’s going to put his head down and do the work he needs to do to get there.”
