<p>Several programs have already jumped in with offers.</p>
<p>“Offers I have Northern Illinois, IUPUI, Chicago State, and Columbia.”</p>
<p>Who is making him feel like a priority at this stage?</p>
<p>“The school really making me feel like a priority right now is Northern Illinois. They are the ones recruiting me the hardest right now and everyone else is watching me. They are really recruiting me. They are a great coaching staff. Great playing style. They work as a team and are together. It is a hard working program.”</p>
<p>What areas of his game does he feel he excels at most and can bring to a team at the next level?</p>
<p>“Some of the strengths of my game are pull ups. I can shoot the ball real well. If you step up on me I am going to get a layup. If you give me the mid-range I am going to take it.”</p>
