Ben Wallace has always been one of my favorite players. He goes hard all the time and he never gets the credit, but he still plays hard.

I had my sights set on another college at that point, but things have a funny way of working out. Some things fell through and my grandmother passed, so I stepped back from recruiting for a while.

We just want to get this thing over. We've been going to this place and that all week. We just want to get out on the court and play.

I turned to a friend and they told me to come out there. I went out there to visit and ended up staying for a while.
