I know he's already committed to WKU. However I would like to know how good he is. Is he deserving of Mr. Basketball? Has Mike Casey ever publicly voiced his opinion? Was UK ever interested?

Was UK ever interested?I've watched him play for four years. He has a great attitude about team play and he does what is ask of him by the coach. My understanding is that UK showed some interest late in the process, but Western had been on him for a long time. He felt very comfortable with coach Horn and the school. Casey has seen him play several times, but I don't know if he has ever said anything publicly. I know he really liked his play. He is as good as anyone that we have played. I'm not sure about other players out in the state. I know that I'm sorry to see him leave, he will be greatly missed.

WKU is getting a good one. He still needs some polishing but I suspect Horn will do that. By his Junior year, he will be a force.

I was at the state tournment yesterday, SC lost, A.J. scored 29 I believe, the next high scorer on the team had 11. He has been the team this year for the most part.

He handles the ball well, good slasher, decent 3pt shooter. Makes a few bad decisions when he gets tired, but he does play almost the entire game.

SC will miss him next year.
