“I have some major interest, and some schools are definitely very involved; Rider, Sienna, Kennesaw State, Army, and NJIT, they like me a lot,” said Sanders.
“I think NJIT might be the first to offer, and then maybe Rider as well. NJIT texts me all the time, and Rider as too.”
After transferring and reclassing last season, he says his junior season with Dulaney went well, and he saw improvements in his game — notably his vocal leadership abilities.
“I think I got better scoring the ball and coming off pick-and-rolls, I think those are the two things that really evolved. And pick-and-roll I know I’ll do a lot of in college,” said Sanders.
“I averaged about 18 points and four assists, and I learned how to become more vocal, we didn’t really have any leaders, so I had to step in and be that leader, so that was key.”
His vocal leadership is something that he says comes more naturally to him now, and he can use it to help him at the next level.
“It’s becoming more natural, I mean you have to do it to play at the next level. But Dulaney helped that because I had to come in and lead right away.”
This offseason Sanders will play with a talented 6th Man Warriors squad, they will be playing in the adidas Uprising Gauntlet Series this spring and summer.
“They want me to score the ball, we have a good point guard, and we basically run two point guards, but I’ll be the one scoring the ball,” said Sanders.
“I’m going to really work on reading the defense, and my basketball IQ and stuff like that. I feel like that’s the most important thing in basketball is your IQ.”
