My basketball dreams always revolved around the Hogs, dressed in Razorback cardinal and white, playing ball in front of a packed Bud Walton Arena.

Starting my college career at Texas Tech after high school was a tough two years for me, but coming from Little Rock and finally getting to play college basketball at my dream school has been amazing.

I’ve accomplished goals that I set out to do during my time as a Razorback and going to the NCAA Tournament to cap off my college career is awesome.

Looking back at my time here, everything happens for a reason. I would have loved to be here for four years, but God works in mysterious ways. I was able to come back to Arkansas and in two years score 1,000 points and help my team to the NCAA Tournament.

If you told me before coming to college that was the road I had to take to get back here, I would have done it all over again because these three years in Fayetteville have been the best three years of my life.

It means a lot to me to represent the state I grew up in. I’ve always had a bunch of love for Arkansas. I was only away from the state for a total of two years in my life and representing Arkansas at this stage is what I’ve always dreamed of. Playing for the Razorbacks is one of the highest honors one can have if you’re from Arkansas, and I was given that honor by my coaches and the coaching staff. I tried to do everything I could with it. For the rest of my life, I’m going to be proud of always being a Hog.

On Senior Day, I realized with our win against Georgia that we probably sealed our Tournament bid. I was just so excited after what we’ve been through this year and what I’ve experienced in my career that to finally know we were going to the NCAA Tournament was just unbelievable to me. I was in pure ecstasy that whole day and I was just super happy.

Senior Day was my highlight moment as a Hog. But at the same time, it’s also sad that I’ll never get to play at Bud Walton ever again. It was great to reflect and walk off the court with my team and hear a big, cheering crowd saying ‘Thank you’. I felt it. It felt so good to look back and realize I did everything I could and we succeeded.

I want to be remembered as someone that worked hard and left everything on the court. That’s all I’ve ever done my entire life — work hard. I’ve gained confidence in my game and at the same time, I hope fans had a blast watching me as a really fun player on the court.

I’m really excited for Friday and our game against Seton Hall.

I’m just focused and I want to do some dancing.
