Hahaha that is such a tough question! I have been fortunate enough to work with all of these Millsaps grads and all of them share similar characteristics. They are all very passionate about the game of basketball and all have the approach of attacking each day with enthusiasm. So I'm going to take the easy way out and call it a 5-way tie.
Favorite moment in your brief career so far as a Millsaps Major?
Easily has to be
Ryan Berger's buzzer beater against East Texas Baptist. We were down 5 with 30 seconds left and pulled out a win.
You're known to carry your basketball shoes around with you wherever you go. Why is this? Just in case there's a pickup game nearby?
I didn't think anyone noticed! I do this because in the summers we are constantly traveling and I usually tie them to my backpack in the airport because they don't fit in my bag. The other reason I do it is because as a student at Tremont Elementary School pick up games would start out of nowhere so you always had to be ready to hoop!
Describe the classroom experience here at Millsaps
The classes are demanding, but I enjoy how approachable and understanding professors are with the students. They really put in the extra time for a personal student experience.
It's been said your appetite is similar to that of a 12 year old. Can you explain this?
My food pyramid consists of chicken fingers, pop tarts, grilled cheese, and hot dogs. I not only accept this, but I embrace it. Oh yeah, and Chick-Fil-A is awesome. These give me my necessary consumption of Vitamin D and calcium. Also there is a substantial amount of glucagon in hot dogs, which helps lower blood sugar. This helps an athlete sustain his endurance throughout a long season.
