“I have an offer from UNCC (Charlotte). Some schools that have been in contact with me are Florida State, Tennessee, Duke, North Carolina and South Carolina.”

You’ve been in contact with Coach Thigpen, correct?

“Yes ma’am.”

What are your thoughts about Carolina?

“Carolina is a great school. They have a great DB corp. I like everything about them.”

Are you thinking about taking a visit sometime?

“Yes ma’am.”

Any other plans for other camps this summer?

“I will probably go to another UnderArmour Camp in Florida.”
