BDP: How do you feel about how your team has done this season & how do you feel
about your performance?
We are doing okay. We are 5-2. We won last night 67-64 & we were coming off a 2-game losing
streak. We got back on track & we have a game Saturday night & hopefully we can stay on track.
As far as my game, it isn't as consistent as I want it to be, but it is coming back. It takes
a while to come back from football. I still need to get into the shape that I need to be in order to go a whole game. The
jumper is becoming more consistent & I am starting to dribble the ball lower, which is where I want it to be.
We are doing okay, but we still have a lot of room for improvement.
BDP: Do you have any plans set up to attend a Duke game sometime this year?
I am not sure yet. We are still trying to figure out our school schedule because we had a
game cancelled because of the weather & we had a team cancel on us.
BDP: Have you heard anything from anyone on the Duke staff lately?
Coach K called a couple of days ago. He was telling me about McClure & Nelson playing
down there. I usually hear from him about once every week or so.
BDP: Do you have any idea what you plan to major in a Duke?
I haven't really thought about it much. But I know that I would like to get into coaching
at some point.
BDP: Has the change in the football staff had any effect on your thought about playing
football at Duke & have you heard anything from the new football staff?
I am not even thinking about that right now. I am just focused on my school basketball team.
I haven't heard anything from the new staff at all.
BDP: Have you watched any Duke games this year?
Yea. I try to watch them whenever I can. Sometimes they play on the same night that my team
plays, but I try to watch them as much as possible. I think they have looked pretty good so far this year.
BDP: What are your hobbies, or what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I like to play PlayStation, hang out with my friends, & spend some time with my family
whenever we can get us all together.
BDP: Who are your favorite professional teams in any sport?
I don't really like baseball that much. It is too slow for me. I don't really have a favorite
team. I like to watch Peyton Manning & Brett Farve. I also like to watch Eli Manning in college. In the NBA, I like to
watch teams like the Kings & the Mavs. I like their style of play. I particularly like to watch Steve Nash of the Mavs.
BDP: Who is going to win the Super Bowl?
I like Brett Farve, so I hope the Packer win.
BDP: Have you thought about what number you would like to wear at Duke?
Not really. I wear number 23, but Shelden has that number. I guess I will wear whatever they
give me.
BDP: Did you grow up a Duke fan?
No. I was a Fab5 fan when I was growing up.
BDP: There was a rumor a while back that you may be transferring to Oak Hill next
year. Any truth to it?
No. I hear stuff like that every once in a while, but there is no truth to it at all.
