General

Joined the Tech program as a walk-on in fall of 2001, after teaming up with fellow walk-on David Ewing to lead an intramural squad to Tech[apos]s independent league intramural championship the previous spring … His team did not win the whole ball of wax in the Tech intramural competition, however, losing to Campus Christian Fellowship in the campus-wide intramural championship.

Backup point guard who contributed primarily in practice … One of two left-handed players on the team … Played in nine games last season, including a career-high seven minutes in Tech[apos]s season opener against UAPB … Scored his first and only points of the season against his hometown team, Syracuse, on a three-point shot … Made the Dean[apos]s List in the fall semester, 2002, with a 3.76 GPA … Played in five games off the bench in 2001-02 … Scored his only points last season on a three-pointer against Cornell … Also had one assist in the game … Played in 12 games as a senior, including a season high five minutes in Tech[apos]s win over Marist on Dec. 23 … Made his first career start Mar. 3 against Florida State on Senior Day … Scored three points against Tennessee State and two against Marist … Attempted a shot in only three games, despite urging from the home crowd.
