Q: Lake Forest is a big golf town. Conway Farms is hosting the BMW Championship in September for the second time in three years. Have you been? Do you play golf?
A: I do play. My dad played in the pro-am of the tournament two years ago, and I caddied for him. It was the first time I’ve done something like that. We played with Ryan Moore.
Q: Although you’re 6-8, you possessed an all-around offensive game in high school. Will it be the same in college?
A: I consider myself a basketball player, not someone who plays a certain position. Dartmouth said they will use me in different ways, such as posting up, coming off the dribble. I don’t think I fit into just one role.
Q: Before you arrived, Lake Forest had won four regional titles since 2001. You helped the Scouts to two in your four seasons and played in a sectional final this season. Dartmouth hasn’t had much recent success, last winning the Ivy League in 1959. Are you looking forward to changing the culture there?
A: I definitely want to go there and try to build something special. I think the guys there now are doing some good things, and the team is on the upswing. Lake Forest taught me how hard it is to win. You can’t take anything for granted and have to work for everything. Success isn’t easy.
