Coach [Andrew] Faison [at VSU] and his staff have a great team, but since we lost to Shaw, we have been hoping for a chance at the end of the season,

What a blessing it is for a coach to have guys like Andrew and Horton. We don't have to worry about them when they're on the floor.

Chris reminds me a lot of a kid I used to coach in the summer, Andrew Davis. He reminds me so much of Andrew it's scary.

I feel honored to represent my team for the Shaw award,

My hats off to Coach Tarver and the Howard coaching staff. They have done a great job. We had some breaks go our way. I am happy for our kids, they have worked hard and it paid off for them.

We're going to turn it around. We spoke in detail with the coach and coaching staff and we know what we have to do. We have to get everybody back and energized and back in the winning ways. We're 0-2, but it's a long season ahead of us. Our main goal right now is still to win our division, and I think we can get back in our winning ways.
