Pre-season report from Head Coach Travis Ford: “I love Gary's approach to the game, his mental approach to the game. He is very tough mentally, physically he has got great skills. He is a tremendous shooter and Gary's another player that can play the point guard position or the two guard position. He is somebody that I think physically could help our team this year. Gary gained such valuable experience this summer playing in the FIBA Championships for Panama. He was playing against NBA players and pros from around the world which will really help him. He can score in a variety of ways from the perimeter or inside. He can be a power player, but also has a great touch from outside. He has played at the highest level in the ACC and I think he showed he was ready for the competition in our conference. He will help us leadership-wise – as he is now a team captain. He could be one of the best players in the league. He is somebody who can really shoot the basketball, he's got great form. He's a player with good size and he's very strong and understands how to use his body. He's a very good one-on-one basketball player. Gary is another young man who has a great personality which leads to him being a leader on this basketball team.”

Gary is another young man who has a great personality which leads to him being a leader on this basketball team already. He's a great addition to our basketball team, an all around great player and eventually for us he will become one of the great players in the country.”
