Albion, Lake Forest College, Washington University in St. Louis, and Case Western Reserve University

Team capitan, top 5 in scoring, and top 3 in rebounding.

A kid with great character, and does nothing but gives his energy and heart for the sport he loves. Plus, one who puts his academics first, works hard, and is just a great team player.
• What will go into your decision about choosing a college?
Location, academic program at the College/University, and whether or not the school has the major I intend on studying in school.
• Most influential person in your life? Why?
By far it is my parents. Both of them grew up in Uganda, a country in Africa, and came over to America for education and to live a better life.
