“It definitely wasn’t an easy decision whatsoever. It really came down to Ohio State and UC for me. I think the ultimate decision maker was probably fit. UC’s roster right now, I think the smallest player is what, 6-3 maybe? So when they tell you they recruit length, they’re not lying. The roster says it. I think that the deciding factor for me was fit offensively and defensively.”
...
“I’ve played 2027 my whole life. I really never played 2028. So I know what all the guys look like. Of course I’m going to be going against grown men in college and I get that, but I think that what the staff has planned for me and what they’ve expressed to me, they really believe in me. I know that they’re going to put me in the best position to be the best version of myself.”
...
“I think our connection grew as soon as I stepped foot on campus. (Calhoun) has a little different aura to him. I loved all my other visits, but I think Coach Calhoun, there’s just something about him that I can’t explain. It’s a little different.”
...
“They genuinely care and they kept it straight with me. They didn’t tell me I was just this great player. Just told me what I needed to work on and what I could do from now on to be ready. I love the staff and I know I’ve only known them for maybe a month or a month and a half, but they’re just so real with me. They keep everything real and I love coaches who are straightforward.”
...
“I think Cincinnati is going to get a proven winner in me. They haven’t won in so long. They haven’t been to the NCAA Tournament in seven years. I’m just ready to bring the culture back. I just think Cincinnati is such a special place."
...
“I think with the new addition of that coaching staff, and of course me making this decision to go there a year early, hopefully it shows that I’m trying to accomplish something big and I’m not just doing it for myself. I’m doing it for the city as well. So I just want to win, make it to the tournament, hopefully win a tournament, and I know that all of us are on the same page as far as fans, coaching staff, and my family as well.”

CJC did promise that there would be some major recruits and so I guess it was more than coach talk. Keep on bringing them in. Notice he said recruits plural and major ones.. Way to go CJC. We must be patient for a year, keep up the positive vibes and look out.
