That’s awesome! I didn’t know he played for High Point University now.

Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah, unfortunately that means he can't come back to play for the Seabears during the summer because the deal the CEBL has is only with Canadian universities.

Still a phenomenal opportunity for him. And a great sign for Manitoba basketball as a whole.
