I was getting a lot of interest from schools but they were either too far or the enviroment was too cold. I was talking to coaches almost everyday. I got to a point were I was getting ready to just pick somebody. But I realized that the school I chose would be my home for the next 4years of my life.The reason I chose Coppin was I got along with my teamates instantly and the coaches made me feel wanted. I didn't feel like they were just recruiting a point guard, they made me feel like they were recruiting a student-athlete with the emphasis on student.
