He had an incredibly productive senior campaign, averaging 23.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game. He flew under the radar, earning offers from only Duquesne and UC Santa Barbara before catching the attention of John Calipari. The Kentucky head coach extended a scholarship, an official visit was taken and a commitment was made.
