PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… It was a lot to think about. I’ve had a great 3 years at Belmont and I’m extremely thankful to the staff and the community there for all they’ve done for me. But I knew it was ultimately time for me to find a new home.”
“… On Monday I had a few other schools reaching out and set up some visits, but on Tuesday Jackie Alexander got the job at Morehead State and I knew I would love to play for her. So when she called me it was a no brainer. She recruited me as an assistant at ETSU out of high school. I had built a great relationship with her then.”
“… I could not be more excited! Coming back and playing in the 606 means everything to me. Having the support from my family and the community from Louisa is so special and warms my heart.”
