This post could be said 1000 ways, I spent over 1000 days focused, determined and dedicated to the University of Louisville. Today is my long overdue thank you and peace, as I put the past behind me and push towards a greater future. From May 2017 until March 2022 I gave my all to the program, university and city of Louisville. After the firing of coach P, people questioned why I would stick around but the commitment I made wasn’t just to a coach, I committed to an entire city. Sacrificing everything more than anything I wanted was the success of the team. With the goal to return the ville to the power 5 top 5 program it is historically, dedicated n focused, battling injury after injury I repeatedly year after year returned to school. I did not accumulate much success in college but I consistently left it all on the floor, playing whatever role was asked of me. Being a respectful young man who always displayed a high level of mannerisms and respect to all. The way that my career ended at the ville was heartbreaking, not because of any loss but because the reputation I worked my ass off to build was tarnished through the image that was put out of me by some individuals.
To the real ones reppin #CardNation thank you for embracing a kid from Ft. Wayne. I went through everything in those 5 years and y’all helped keep a smile on my face. I met plenty of people, made lifelong friends and encountered just so many pure souls. I embody Louisville 1st Cardinal 4ever.  I matured and I grew but I never changed, I never will. Stand for something or fall for anything I’ll forever be standing. Thank you #CardNation❤️
