He emphasizes his positive relationship with former teammates and his decision to join Coach Sprinkle's program.
Talk about it, getting your eligibility extended and
also why you left Nevada instead of taking it there.
It just got to do with me taking it day by day,
just focusing in on the season.
I really haven't been thinking about
the eligibility, I know it's out of my hands.
Just leave it up to my lawyer and let him do what he has to do.
Thankful he did what he's supposed
to and thank him for granting the year.
When I left Nevada, it was just bad timing.
NCAA, they already had their full roster and
I just had to move on.
So you kind of basically graduated from Nevada then?
Yes.
And you didn't know Albert was leaving though, did you?
No, I didn't, I didn't.
Alfred's my guy, so.
I covered him in the Final Four in 88,
certainly how old I am.
Yeah, for sure.
But Alfred's my guy, no bad blood.
So why'd you end up here?
What was the attraction there in Washington?
I had a few options coming up, hitting the portal for my fifth year.
But talking to Coach Sprinkle and talking to Coach Dre,
he recruited me at Marquette,
but once he got here, he started recruiting me and
we just built from there.
You remember playing these guys last year down in California?
Yeah, definitely do, it was a good game.
You never thinking you'd probably join them at that time.
Yeah, never know, never know.
