I chose Cincinnati because I felt it was a great opportunity to go from one tradition rich program to another. Coach Cronin is one of the best teachers in all of basketball and I felt (and was right about) that I could learn a lot from him and assistant coaches Darren Savino, Larry Davis, and Antwon Jackson.
