What’s up everybody?! I’m reporting to you live and direct from the United States of America, St. Louis, Missouri to be exact. My season ended about two weeks ago and I have been on the move since I got home.
We lost in the first round of the playoffs and I shipped back to America earlier than I wanted to. I wound up averaging something like 17 points and nine rebounds a game while over in South America. It was a great learning experience for me and got my name out there in the Latin market. Really though, it was a good look playing with another American who has been in the game abroad so long. I want to give a huge shout out to my man Ramel Allen for taking me under his wing and filling me in on some secrets to the
business and giving me tips to be successful while playing overseas. I appreciate it boss!
I was lucky enough to fly into Richmond where I was picked up by my right hand man and got to stay with other family the Herron’s for a couple of days. Then I headed down to see my mother and little sister, I actually surprised my little sister at her elementary school and it made my day to see her face light up like that. She means the world to me.
After that I headed back through Richmond and embarked on my journey to see my OHIO Bobcats play in the NCAA Tournament. I drove to Athens where I met former OU baller Justin Orr and we made our way down to Nashville, Tennessee for the first round.
My young boys picked up two HUGE wins, beating Michigan in the first round and USF in the second. I was able to score tickets to both games and I gotta say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Of course I wish I was still playing (maybe I should’ve redshirted a year hahaha I’m playing), but man it was a great time to come home to.
We ended up meeting former Bobcat Asown Sayles too and the three of us had one of the best weekends of our lives down there in Nashville. It brought up a ton of memories from playing back at OU and I could not respect that program any more than I do. I really appreciate all that they have done for my life!
Now I am out here in St. Louis for the Sweet 16! Tunji and I got down here last night after a tough trip that included a popped tire, but we’re here! And I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I ended up meeting Orr, Sayles, and my Bobcat Brother Armon Bassett. OU lost the game, but battled UNC to the very last minute and went into overtime. They showed a lot of heart and competed with one of the powerhouse programs in the country. OHIO has finally arrived and I am honored to say that's where I played my college ball and attended college.
I am real proud of all my young boys that have been holding down OHIO this year. I couldn’t be more impressed with how they have developed individually and as a team. They deserve all the success they've had this year. I’m also really happy for Coach Groce, he deserves this run and is one of the best coaches in college basketball. To my Bobcats, keep your heads and stay together. You still have next year to top what you all did this season, how live would that be?! All of #BobcatNation is proud, you boys represented OU really well.
It was crazy being able to attend the NCAA Tournament run as a fan. So much different than when I was a player. The atmosphere is fun and there is always something to do. It was a great experience for having just got home, I feel like it all worked out perfectly and I'm hype I got to go. It brought up a lot of memories that I am really glad I was a part of at Ohio I can honestly say I love that place and those people. They have done a lot for my life and I thank them.
As for me, I’m not sure at this point if I’ll ship out one last time for a month or two or wait it out and prepare for NBA Summer League. I honestly just enjoyed watching OHIO and all of my Bobcat brothers play in the tournament.
Go Bobcats!
