A lot of great players have won this honor and I am thankful for the support I have received from my parents, my teammates and my coaches in getting through some tough times. |
I feel blessed to be able to represent Chucky and will do my best to live up to the characteristics he possessed. I became familiar with his story when I was a freshman. He was a special person. |
I was once in their shoes, too. I remember when I was a freshman, I asked so many questions, I thought everybody was going to be like, 'Man, P., will you just quit asking me questions?' But they didn't say that. Those guys helped me out, so that's what I'm doing now to the younger guys here. |
If you never really had any money, then what's another year to wait for it. As I've grown in college, you kind of learn to be patient. And if you do, good things will happen for you. |
You can leave early and then come back to graduate, but if you do leave, you can't get that senior season back. |
