It’s a standout quality that both coaches and players have realized since the now-senior’s earliest days on campus, dating back to his first three years of managerial duties. “He’s in this building morning, noon, and night,” Izzo said. “He’s doing his work, doing his video work, doing all the things that he had to do, but then he would go, and you’d look down there, and he’s in the gym shooting. He wanted to be a player earlier, we just didn’t feel we could fit him in, and then my assistants really, really, really harped that we need somebody like him.
