Coach Stoudamire says – “I loved Cole from the first time I saw him, because I think he has so much potential. I’m not putting any cap on him, but his best basketball is down the road. The way we like to play, offensively, he’s going to be really good. Defensively, he can block shots and defend really well. The biggest thing for us and Cole is to make sure he keeps getting stronger. I have no doubt he’ll impact our program in a major way.”
