Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

This is a special thanks to family and friends who have helped support me over the years.

I would first like to thank my Mom and Dad, your love and support has always given me the energy I needed to accomplish my goals. Your constant support has helped me get to where I am now. I know I have not really gotten to come home a lot. Thanks for your love and support throughout my education and basketball career; you guys mean the world to me.

Corn diggidy-dawg, I know our roommate situation ran a little short, but the time we spent together was priceless. I have grown dependent on your support and love having you around. I know everyone else in the house misses you, but work hard and continue to pursue your dreams. Young boy Cleetis, it’s been hard being away from you for the last four years, but I see it must not be that hard for you, because Mom spoils you even more now. You have a lot of talent lil fella and I hope you keep working hard to make your dreams possible. I truly have the greatest family and love each and every one of you.

To my grandpa and Grandma Johnson, Scott, and Patti Love ya and thought I would throw you guys a little shout out. Gramps I hope once schools out well be able to catch up on the time lost. Grandpa and Grandma Moo, Love the care packages, they really helped in times of need. Auntie Luita, you’re a very busy woman, but always find time to schedule me in. Phil thanks for the advice and helping keep my dad at ease on the sidelines.

Rachel, there have been many ups and down,s but your support has never changed. I don’t think I could have met a greater person. I know I am a lot to handle at times, but you do a great job of keeping me in check. Love always and forever. A special thanks to your family for supporting me, too, and helping me feel at home.

PJ Conns, Nature Boy, Patricia, take your pick, either way you’re going to get one hell of a character. I could not imagine these last four years without your dumb smile. You bring a lot of energy to every aspect of life, but most of all you have taught me to just relax and enjoy the moment. There is never a dull moment with you, but that’s why I enjoy hanging out with you so much. You’re a little emotional at times, but that’s just something I have learned to cope with. PS for your sake and mine lay off the facebook a little. Getting all banged up whoa.

Lukas (Desmond) Holland:?Our relationship was a little rough at first, but who would have thought after four years you would be my go-to guy. When I look back and think of all the great moments I have had while at Saint Mary’s, you were right there with me. I know I could depend on you for anything. Your golf game needs help but I hope we will have a lot of time to fix that. I also want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Holland for all their hospitality, you have created a home away from home for me and I am very thankful for all your hospitality.

Lil Willy:?We have had some very memorable times in the last four years. Your help in the classroom and on the court is never ending. If you work hard enough you might be able to beat me at some form of video game, but I don’t think that will ever happen. Your smooth voice and sweet dance moves make you a true sensation. I wish you the best after school and hope to stay close.

Murph Main: Thanks for all the scientific reasons that surround life. Your life lessons, although sometimes pointless, I find very interesting. You have a very positive attitude and love to smile. These traits make you an extremely fun person to hang out with. I couldn’t imagine watching Leer punt a ball into the ceiling with anybody else.

Rye Guy: You work the hardest of anybody I know on and off the court. You have a can do attitude that is going to help drive you to be successful. I have enjoyed the last four years playing ball with you. Good luck with your teaching profession and hope the best for you.

What uppppp Brothhhhhhhaaaaa Roddddddddd

Tommy Gores: Your stories are priceless. I do have a question though: are you the leading scorer at Lourdes High school?

Timmy: Don’t let anybody tell you that your dance moves are bad.

Freeman: Let’s Go!!!! You have the greatest luck of anybody I know, but I love the energy you bring.

Mike Man: You have a silent personality, but a way with the ladies. Keep up the good work.
