00:00One of the best years of my career.

00:06And I could not be more thankful for this group, for the staff, for the program.

00:15Not only for welcoming me with open arms, but KG said I re-energized the program, they

00:21re-energized me.

00:23That's really what I was, one of the main things I was looking for in my last year.

00:28Like I said in multiple press interviews, I just wanted to get back to having fun, playing

00:33the game again, playing with joy.

00:36And the minute I stepped on campus, that's what it was.

00:39That's what it was all about.

00:40That's what this group was about.

00:42And I've never felt more connected with a team in my whole career.

00:48And that's just the truth, and I'm so, so, so grateful.

00:52And this year has meant the world to me, and like I told them, I'm pretty content with

00:57leaving my college basketball career how it did, and with this group of people.
