Lightning-quick point guard from Eastern Virginia, an area that has produced a long list of college basketball stars ... helpeddirect his high school team deep into the postseason against excellent competition ... comes right in with the ability to get the ball up and down the floor ... outstanding passer ... another lefthanded shooter with a good stroke ... not easily rattled ... can effectively pressure the ball defensively ... likely to play behind senior co-captain John Griffin this season, but coaching staff feels he can be Bucknell's point guard of the future.
