UNC: “Hubert Davis, he reaches out a lot. He pretty much just talks about how this year they should be really good, how they’re going to get things back on a UNC level. He tells me how he could see me coming in there playing as a freshman.”

PENN STATE: “I loved my Penn State visit, especially because my brother was there. Coach (Mike) Rhoades is going to get things rolling. They have a solid team this year. 
So it’s fun to see what they’re going to do this year. That atmosphere was crazy. 
They showed a lot of love, especially for me and my brother. So me and my brother, teaming up for college, that would be great. Kayden (Mingo) is a captain as a freshman, so that’s really big.”

WASHINGTON: “When I went on that visit, I saw how seriously they are taking basketball. This year, they have a really good team and they put a lot of time into their team.”

BAYLOR: “The Baylor visit was great. I mean, my old teammate VJ Edgecombe went there. So just speaking to him a lot about how it was and how he developed there. 
And it was fun just seeing all the analytics and how much they get people to the NBA and how much they raise people’s draft stock.”
