We owe so much to this young man. His commitment built this team.

Dustin talks about the quality of our kids and it’s real. Don is the leader and sets the tone. I’ve seen other players do the same with the youngsters , and the oldsters. I don’t know how common it is across college athletics but I love our team’s relationship with each other and their supporters.704App wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 9:15 pmI met Donovan one time after a game when my son wanted to take a picture. He was hanging out with classmates, saw my son standing there waiting, and left his friends to get down on one knee, give my son a high five, thank him for coming, had about a 5 minute conversation with him about basketball, chased a ball down from the equipment manager and showed him some things to work on, and then chased down a sharpie to sign my son's shirt. All unprompted. Simply because he wanted to.
The kid is as classy as it gets and we will miss him! I've heard he's actually getting some looks for NBA but I don't see it -- just because he's not quick enough for an NBA guard and not big enough for a post. If he continues improving his 3 pt shot, maybe. I think he could have a great career overseas though.
I agree. I noticed this as soon as this staff stepped onto campus. You could just tell that they had a unity/camaraderie that I've never seen with any other staff at App. This is infectious and carries over to the players.Stonewall wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 9:31 pmDustin talks about the quality of our kids and it’s real.
