JACKSON-Welcome to Meet a Major, a chance to know each of the members of the Millsaps Majors' men's basketball team. Coach Drew Giudice caught up with guard Rajan Hanstad, and coach's question are in bold.
What's your hometown?:
Seattle, WA (aka The Emerald City, Rain City, the 206)
Why do people say that "The Left Coast is the Best Coast"?:
People are more relaxed and laid back. You have to visit to fully understand.
But doesn't it rain all the time?:
It does rain a good bit
I always see you and Major teammate Marc Robertson wearing neon/highliter colored apparel. What's up with that?:
Wearing neon signifies our competitive nature. When you wear neon, you are openly accepting criticism and opposition. It is because of this competitive nature that we continually strive to reach perfection through continual practice and evaluation. While this is evident on the court, it also applies off the court, in the classroom...and in life.
Your teammates have noted your celebrations on big plays. What kind of preparation goes in to the creation of these antics?:
Careful analysis of YouTube videos of previous celebrations. I try not to copy theses celebrations because that would not be fair to my teammates. Expect big things for the upcoming season.
Why did you choose Millsaps College?:
I chose Millsaps for its unique location in Mississippi, for the intimate class and community settings, as well as for the chance to continue playing basketball.
Favorite Class at Millsaps so far?:
My Islam in America class
Anything you'd like to add for our readers?:
Courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is the judgement that something is more important than fear.
Where can our fans follow you on the social networking site, Twitter?:
