"I chose to attend Yale because I felt that no other school could match the opportunities it holds for me over the next four years, and I think it is a school where I can reach my full academic and athletic potential. I look forward to working with my teammates and the coaching staff in pursuit of an Ivy League title and an NCAA Tournament bid."
