After visiting Clemson, it just felt right. Everyone was so welcoming from the start. The coaches, players, and staff all made it easy to connect. I could really see myself growing there on and off the court. It felt like a place I could call home. I'm really looking forward to getting back into that environment every day, building real relationships with my new teammates, and competing at a high level. Being somewhere I felt so welcomed makes me excited to get to work.
