I’ll start off by asking a question I’ve been wondering for years. With your college search way back when, what was it about UConn that made that the place for you to go?
Everything. I think one, a great coach in Jim Calhoun. Two, I just love the campus, and just being a college student and being able to go into campus and feel safe. It wasn’t in the city, it was kind of like in its own city. Three, was the fans. The fans were incredible, and I always told myself when I first went up there on an official visit that if I never got an opportunity to play in the NBA, playing for Connecticut basketball was like playing in the NBA because of being the only sport in town, men’s and women’s. It was a great thing. Watching Ray Allen before me and seeing myself put in the same position where he was at. Him leaving, and me coming in. I felt it was a great opportunity for myself.
