I’ve got a ton of schools asking about you playing that have called me.’ He said, ‘Well coach, I’m 99 percent sure I’m probably going to the NBA. But I wouldn’t rule it out.’ He started laughing and he said, ‘No coach, I’m kidding. I’m gonna play basketball.’ I said, ‘All right, I just wanted to know.'”
