As a small-town kid from Patterson, La., an hour from really anything, Nehemiah Augustus drew the attention of then-Arizona State deputy head coach Mike Norvell during the 2015 recruiting process.
It's not that he wouldn't have committed to Arizona State, but once Norvell was named the head coach at Memphis in December of 2015, the decision was easier for Augustus.
Augustus, though, may never had been in a position for an opportunity like this had it not been for his older sister, Keaundra. She has been his driving force to be successful in all that he pursues.
