Thanksgiving

Although I wasn't able to go home, I still spent Thanksgiving with family. My teammates and coaches came together for wonderful thanksgiving feast that made not being at home easier. The food was great and everybody was having a great time as we celebrated all that we are thankful for. I personally am thankful that I still have my parents and am able to play the game I love everyday. It is truly a blessing and i am very fortunate to be in this position.

Puerto Rico

The Puerto Rico Trip was a exhilarating experience for me and my teammates. We stayed the beautiful Conrad Hotel with the other seven teams in the tournament. It was an interesting atmosphere as we got to spend time with both our team fellow players. San Juan is truly a paradise as we got to experience amazing views, beautiful beaches and historic landmarks. Although we went 1-2 i feel that we got better every game and are ready to take the next step in our growth as a team

Breast Cancer Walk

Last week while watching a few football and baseball games I was kind
of surprised to see so many athletes, coaches, and their staffs arrayed
in something pink. At first I wondered what this pink stuff was all
about and then I realized that it was a very powerful and positive
campaign to make the public aware of breast cancer and the need
to find a cure. We all have mothers or sisters or aunts and female
friends who might become stricken with breast cancer. As a BU
student-athlete I was very proud to march with my coach, teammates and
fellow BU athletes in solidarity for such a worthy cause. Awareness and
action are important; I am just concerned that after more than 50 years
and probably billions of dollars spent on research of cancer in
general, we don't seem to be any closer to a cure than we were in the
1950s. Has cancer become a big business?

Just another day in the life

last night

So we had a pretty intense game of pick up last night.It got pretty heated and some people almost came to blows but I feel like this is a good step for us.We're gaining a competitive edge that's gonna be crucial for us. Every minute, every point, every possession matters. If we don't have the physical edge over an opponent we're definetly gonna have the mental edge and we're a family so they'll get over it

PS. about to get the first videos up!

binghamton

When my man Dan Dielegro hit me up with the news that Binghamton released five of their players I didn't believe him. It was only when he gave me the link to the website and i got to see the article for myself that I began to think about the impact that this is going to have on these young men and the America East conference. I was at dinner with the team when we got the news and everyone had their opinions but I couldn't help but think that this is a tragic situation for Binghamton's players and the America East as a whole. I honestly hope for the best for all Binghamton's players, past and present, as they go through this. As for Boston University, we just gotta keep working as hard as we can everyday to achieve our goals. It takes time but I think we're gettin there.
