Why did you choose to go to school in Vermont?

To play basketball. My friend’s mom knew the area well, so that’s why I chose St. Mike’s.

 

What position do you usually play on the basketball team?

Power forward or center.

 

If you could be any television character, who would you be and why?

I would be Cartman from South Park because he’s very conniving, persuasive and usually gets what he wants.

 

What is your most prized possession?

A gold bracelet from my grandfather.

 

If you had to pick an anthem for your life, what song would you choose?

Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machines.

 

Describe the worst possible date you could imagine going on.

Probably something having to do with trying new, random foods. I’m a very picky eater and I hate most vegetables, which is funny because I’m tall. I never ate salad until last year. I absolutely love steak, chicken, all that stuff.

 

If you possibly go pro one day and become a millionaire, what is the first thing you would spend your big bucks on?

I’d probably just go travel the world. I wouldn’t really have a plan, though. It’d just kind of be on the fly.

 

Do you have a favorite color?

Red. It’s always been appealing to me. It represents power and love.

 

If you got to choose the last meal you would ever eat, it would be…?

Chipotle burrito.

 

Finish this sentence: If I could have any pet in the world, legal or not legal, I would have…..

A leopard. I think a leopard would be sick. It would be in my backyard and would just roll around with me.
