MEET A MAJOR: ALEX GERCHOW

JACKSON- It is time for the next installment of Meet A Major, a chance to get to know each member of the Millsaps' men's basketball team. Today, forward Alex Gerchow sat down with Drew Giudice, coach's questions are in bold. 

 

What is your hometown?: 
Alabaster, Alabama

Do you personally know Forrest Gump or anyone next to kin of him?: 
Not that I know of. But I have visited his alma mater, the University of Alabama, and seen the football team play.

Thoughts on Bear Bryant? I hear he has had quite the team there the past few seasons: 
It has been a while since Bear was coaching at Alabama, but definitely the greatest coach in college football history and he's just a downright winner.

What does it mean when I hear your teammates say that you "dress frat"?: 
I think they are just acknowledging the fact that I like to look nice whether its on the bus for a road trip or sitting down for a team meal.

Greatest moment in your young Majors career so far:

Captain Cortese banking in the game winner vs. Sewanee last season.

 
You are known as an enforcer on the floor, even in practice on your own teammates... where does this physical nature come from?:
 Growing up I learned that there will always be a competitor out there stronger or more athletic than I am so the physical nature is a must to battle down low in the paint.

Why did you choose Millsaps?: 
The excellent business school and to play basketball.

Favorite class you have taken at Millsaps so far: 
Principles of Accounting taught Professor Lou Burney

Where can our fans follow you on the social media site they call "Twitter"?:
