Q: You’re a graduating senior and recently committed to playing college hoops next year at Iona University, what went into that final decision and what was your recruiting experience like?

A: What went into my decision to committing to Iona was the environment. As soon as I stepped on campus it felt right. I also loved the way Coach Geriot and his staff run things at Iona. The Plan they have for you puts you on a path to do great things. Being given the opportunity to come and compete at the Division 1 level is just great.
