Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

I'm sorry to see it end.

As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.

Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.

I want to play for years.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.

I know what's within me even if you can't see it yet...I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become what I know I am.
