EVANSVILLE, Ind. – As soon as Sam Cunliffe met University of Evansville head men's basketball coach Walter McCarty, he knew that this was the place for him. The highest-rated recruit in Purple Aces history joined the team over the summer and is already making a huge impact on the program.
Cunliffe's ultimate goal is to play in the NBA. With the background that Coach McCarty brings to the program, it was an easy decision.
"That (NBA) is where I want to get to. Coach McCarty was just there, he coached at the highest level and played at the highest level," Cunliffe said.
