Carrillo was the only coach who thought I had the potential to play. I really wasn't a good player in high school. I thought I was, until I came here. |
For four years he held that group together. If somebody can fill his shoes, then they'll be in good shape. |
Fort Lewis told me they wanted me to walk on… they didn't think I was good enough (for a scholarship). I've kept that in the back of my mind ever since — my hometown didn't think I was good enough. I took that negative and turned it into a positive. |
I took more of a leadership role this year. I push more of my teammates to get them better in practice. I've pretty much been a floor general. |
I'm still open to all schools. I've told them (recruiters) that right now I want to focus on just winning and they've respected that. |
It was nice that (Southern Utah) is close to Colorado. But mainly I chose it because they want to win… They like to push the ball up the court, just like they do here. They run a lot more sets, but it's a similar style. |
There's still talent, but there aren't as many dominant pitchers as in years past. Somebody will have to step up. |
This is one of the most focused teams I've had. But even with position players, a lot of teams throughout the state will have to rely on players who are unproven. |
We couldn't pull away. To their credit, they played hard. But we kept our composure and didn't let them get the lead. |
We knew they were going to defend Andre hard. So I had to attack the basket. |
