"It's finally a relief to have it over. I worked all my life to go to college and that's all i dreamed about growing up, getting a scholarship to play ball and now I've finally done it. Pikeville is a traditionally good basketball school and I just went down there to visit them and they made me feel welcome it's just like a hometown... nice and small, but also a great basketball place. It's a good place to play, so i figured that it would be a good place for me. They said they love the way I shoot the ball, and they said I could handle it and I could come down there and play a one or two for them... whichever place I could do the best in. He (Coach Kelly Wells) treated me like an individual and the way I wanted to be treated, so... it was the best place for me.
