The sophomore guard scored 10 points while shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc for the Boosters.</p> <p>When asked about his decision, Potts had this to say “I have been counted out since high school and I believe that I have stuck with the process and my journey is just beginning. I believe what helped me in making the decision the most was how the staff and Coach McConathy treated me through the process. They have believed in me the whole way and we share very similar beliefs. They have a great program there that seems to be on the rise. My family and I had a great zoom call with the coaches that made it official for me. I believe I will bring scoring and a shooting presence as well as being a good teammate as the ultimate goal is to win and make the Dance in the near future. I will do everything in my power to help make that happen and I’m excited to get to work and make a major impact”.</p>
