IN HIS OWN WORDS
Illinois: “Coach Orlando (Antigua), he texts me a lot. He lets me know how I fit on his team and that I would come in playing a big role.”
Oregon: “I talk with coach (Mike) Mennenga. He tells me that I am going to be a big player over there. He tells me they really want me, a lot.”
Kansas: “I talk with coach (Kurtis) Townsend a lot. He always tells me how much he wants me over there. How I would fit into their system.”
WHAT'S NEXT?
“I am going to look really closely with what a coach wants me to be doing. How they want me to play in the post. I am going to look at the coach, his former players, if he is a good coach.”
