<p class="text-gray-700">Eli is a passionate and competitive player who will provide perimeter scoring for the Tigers. He has good positional size and is a really good multi-level scorer. Despite only being a sophomore, he will be looked upon to provide on-court leadership. He will have a lot of responsibilities, and the Tigers coaching staff has complete confidence in him. </p>
