A dynamic combo guard who brings strong offensive and defensive pressure for the Hurricanes.
2006-07 (Junior): Made an immediate impact for the Hurricanes, starting 29 of 30 games... Second on the team and 10th in the ACC with 14.6 points per game--including 15.6 points per game in ACC play... Grabbed a team-leading 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game, which ranked second-best in the conference and 10th in the nation... Also ranked third in the ACC and 28th in the NCAA in 3-point field goal percentage (.388) and fifth in the conference and 63rd in the nation with 2.2 3-point field goals made per game... In ACC play, led the team in rebounds, assists and steals and was the second-leading scorer--and tops among returners... Tied the school record with an ACC season-best 10 steals versus Wake Forest (2/8)--which also tied for the fourth-best performance in NCAA Division I play in 2006-07... Registered at least one steal in all but two games, and grabbed four-or-more 13 times and three-or-more 17 times... Scored a career-high 28 points twice--at Virginia Tech (1/25) and at No. 2/2 North Carolina (2/18)... Converted a career-high five three-pointers in both games, converting 5-of-6 from beyond that arc at Virginia Tech and hitting four in the second half at UNC to lead a rally that fell short... That 83.3 percent conversion rate from beyond the arc at Virginia Tech was the best by a Hurricane in 2006-07... Hit three-or-more 3-pointers in four-straight games (1/10-25) and in eight of the last 13 games of the season... Hit at least one trey in 21-straight games... Scored 20-or-more points six times--including four times in ACC play--and finished in double-figures in 25 of 30 games... Scored a team-high 24 points, with four treys, seven boards and three steals versus No. 1/1 Maryland (1/10)... Posted four double-doubles, including a 25-point, 10-rebound performance at Santa Clara (11/15) and an 11-point, 11-rebound outing at Virginia (2/4)... Grabbed a career-high 12 boards at Duke (1/3)... Dished out a career-high six assists versus Texas State (12/16) and registered another five in a career-high 40 minutes versus N.C. State (2/24).
Prior to Miami: Earned First Team NJCAA All-America honors at Monroe Community College in 2005-06, averaging 19.1 points, 4.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game... Helped lead Monroe, who moved from Division II to Division I in 2005-06, to back-to-back NJCAA National Championships... Paired with former UM teammate Renee Taylor to lead MCC to the 2005 NJCAA Division II Title... Named the NJCAA 2006 Tournament MVP after scoring a combined 53 points in the semifinal and championship games.
Personal: A liberal arts major... Enjoys relaxing, laughing and dancing.
