SN: When did you start playing basketball and why did you choose to play basketball?


AG: I started playing basketball around seven years old. I just picked up a ball, shot it and made it and that is what made me choose.


SN: What is your best high school and college memory playing basketball?

AG: High school wise it was just going 18-0 to start the season my senior year, that was a good experience. College wise it was just learning new stuff. I learned so much since being here.


SN: Which NCAA video game best depicts your skills?


AG: March madness does the best job.

SN: What are your plans after graduation?


AG: Hopefully play ball somewhere, whether it’s overseas or wherever. If not, I’ll try and get a job to work and make a living.

SN: What is something about Coach J.P. Piper that only the team knows?

AG: He’s very wide open.

SN: What is something you hope to accomplish before your senior season next year?

AG: I hope we can get into the tournament and win a conference championship then go to the NCAA championship.

SN: What do you want your legacy to be after you leave Nicholls?

AG: I feel that if we win and we do a good job then people are going to remember me. That’s all it is, I’m not too worried about me I’m just focused on trying to get to the conference championship. If we do that then people are going to remember me, Stefan (Blaszczynski) and the rest of us. That’s really all I want.
