I’M A HURRICANE BECAUSE it’s all about the U... MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING PART OF THE U FAMILY IS that everyone is cool with each other... AT THE U, I’VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM athletic trainer Wes Brown... ONE THING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MIAMI BASKETBALL IS we are all family... IF I WAS PLAYING 2-ON-2, I WOULD CHOOSE Erik Swoope FOR MY TEAM… IF I COULD PLAY ANY OTHER SPORT AT UM, IT WOULD BE football... BEST FRIEND ON ANOTHER COLLEGE TEAM IS Delroy James (Rhode Island)... MY FIRST MEMORY OF PLAYING BASKETBALL IS trying to dunk like Michael Jordan... OTHER THAN BASKETBALL, I AM TALENTED AT singing... THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE IS Ray Allen... IF I WERE A SUPERHERO, MY NAME WOULD BE Midnight AND MY SUPERPOWER WOULD BE fire...
