Personal:

Chose Oregon State because “I felt comfortable right after talking with Coach Rueck, and I share the philosophy he has regarding playing basketball. Although I haven’t known him for long, it feels like I know him well already. After meeting the team and getting to spend some time at Oregon State I am even more confident in my decision to become a Beaver.”
