Can't go wrong anywhere . That's kind of how I chose UCL A . Uh I just wanna get your guys thoughts on why we chose UCL A .
And so um he unfortunately passed away before I got to UCL A but he always wanted to see me play in Pauley Pavilion because that's where he worked . And , um I think I chose U I for many reasons , but one of them was the culture of excellence on and off the court and the great record in history he has with champ national championships and also the academic side and being in Los Angeles , you just can't really get any better than that . Yeah , for sure .
That's kind of how I chose UCL A . Uh I just wanna get your guys thoughts on why we chose UCL A . Yeah , I definitely say mine is super similar and being from the South and being from Texas , I knew that L A was a place that I wanted to just be able to experience and see how different the culture is and the people and just how fast the lifestyle is compared to back home in Texas .
Yeah , for sure . Yeah , but leading into that , like why we chose UCL A , I'm sure um everyone knows UCL A is number one public university in America . Uh That's obviously a big seller for some , but we kind of get the best of both worlds with our men's volleyball program being on top of with 20 national championships and then the academics being number one , it's kind of like a win , win .
Um But like living in L A , it's just like the lifestyle , like just experiencing something new every day , something that was very appealing and I definitely have experienced something new every day living in L A . Um Yeah , but the competitive greatness at UCLA I feel is just unmatched , like with 121 national championships . Um Troy Aikman Jackie Robinson , like Kareem Abdul Jabbar , like the list goes on .
