I believe I owe it to myself, entering my senior year, to experience the Chicago camp and see where I stand among the potential draftees.

I really wanted to come to U of A. It was really a close decision. The only deciding factor was staying close to home, but if U of A were in L.A., I'd have been there.

Going to Chicago was a good experience for me, ... I was advised that one year back in school, to develop my body and touch-up skills, will put me in a better position next year to hopefully get into the first round.

The style reminds me of U of A. It's my style of play. I get out and run with these guys, so I'm happy to be here.

I just hope to come in and contribute to get the championship. That's the most important thing, to get the championship in my rookie year. That would be great.
