Best book I have ever read
To Kill A Mockingbird
Person who has had the greatest influence on my
athletic career
My brother, Mike, who has always been there teaching me and
working with me
The first time I met Coach Williams I
thought
That he is the type of person that I want to become
Favorite sport other than basketball
Golf and football
My ultimate SportsCenter highlight would
be
To dunk on someone
My favorite sports announcer is
Kenny Mayne
The best player I have ever faced was
Khalid El-Amin
My nickname is
Bosch
My advice to youngsters is
In order to succeed in anything you need to work hard and
believe in yourself
If I could add one team to the schedule, it would
be
The University of North Dakota or North Dakota State
University
The thing I like most about the city of Lawrence
is
The size (it’s not too big)
After my KU career is over, I’d like to be
remembered as
One of the players that contributed in gaining the national
championship
If I were to give up all my possessions but one,
I’d keep
The basketball given to me when I broke the North Dakota
state career scoring record
My post-school ambition is
To become a college basketball coach
