Um , we also ended up playing at UConn , which is an arena that I hadn't played in just being in the SEC , um , so being able to see all the banners , all the national championships that they brought to the game was very important to me . Now with NIL there's a lot of opportunity for kids when they go to college so I say building that presence in high school , middle school , like wherever you wanna start building that presence now is extremely important . You're only giving yourself more opportunity for when you get to college to make it that much easier .
You're only giving yourself more opportunity for when you get to college to make it that much easier . A dream NIO opportunity for me would definitely be for a thrift store , um , if there was something I can go in and just shop and put the clothes on , like try it out , make videos of that type of stuff . Um , also wanting to give back to like the homeless , um , going into those stores , letting them pick some things out , like helping them to make some outfits , get some things for them for younger players who are striving to be where I am now , I would say the biggest thing for me is to surround yourself with like-minded people .

Room like with my coaches with my trainers getting in extra individuals with my coaches was something that was really big for me that played out in games um my transfer process was a lot smoother than coming out of high school um this time around I was able to ask the right questions um at in talking with my coaches just get a better feel for the team atmosphere and the chemistry that was gonna be there also paying attention to the way that you're gonna be played , the way that you're gonna be used coming out of high school is gonna be important . I feel like in asking the right questions a lot of times coming out of high school when you start hearing people talk about the money piece in the NIO um it can change your perspective on a school and it can kind of blur the lines on some things so I feel like keeping the main thing the main thing like . How you're gonna be used if you're gonna be happy there um the way that you interact with the players on your visit is very important like have some questions written down when you talk to players um also a thing to keep in mind when you're going on visits and stuff like that is just to be aware when you're on a visit like .
So when you're making these connections with these people . It's easier to narrow down the schools that you wanna go to . So initially I chose Auburn just growing up in Florida and being from the South like I grew up watching a lot of SEC games .
