Q – So last season was pretty memorable to say the least. Other than winning it all this season, what’s your main objective going into it?
EJ - “I mean, for me personally I’m just trying to work hard and do what I do best and hopefully make an impact on this team one way one way or another.”
Q – you actually share the same birthday as my little brother, who’s 11 (March 23rd) he loves basketball too. What advice can you give to younger kids who hope to one day be in your shoes and at the University of Kentucky?
EJ - “First off, always respect your parents and family, that’s number one.
You just got to keep working hard, don’t discouraged about something that’s going bad or going wrong. Everything is some type of test and you just need to be ready at all times.”
Q – Can you talk a little bit about the challenges of balancing school work and being an athlete?
EJ - “I mean it’s obviously not easy and we understood that when we all decided and wanted to come here but it’s something that when Cal talked to us, we knew it. It’s not something we complain about or talk about, we just have to power through it. We may not have as many hours as say a regular student but it’s all worth it for our dreams.”
Q – Your twitter bio shows that your faith is very important to you. It says I’m not a Christian because I’m strong and have it all together I’m a Christian because I’m weak and I admit that I need a Savior.
What is something else you’d like the world to know that they may not already know about you?
EJ - “I mean yeah, my faith is really important to me. I’m a Christian and I’m a strong believer and all that. I read devotions all the time, I try to go to Church as much as I can, so it’s really important to me.
Something people don’t know about me…. All I can think about is that I love to dance but people kinda figured that last year when I did all the dancing. I mean maybe , I don’t know, I think I’m pretty funny. Marcus tries to say I’m not funny I think I’m hilarious.”
Q - What’s your favorite song to dance to?
EJ - “Favorite song to dance to is, it don’t really matter. I just like to dance, if it’s got a nice beat and I can have a little rhythm to it, I’m dancing.”
Q – As a returning player what can you do to improve the teamwork and attitude of each player?
EJ - “I can let them know that #1, it goes by really fast. So we need to make this time worthwhile, we’ve got to work together. We’re going to have to sacrifice, everyone’s going to have to sacrifice, that’s just something they’ve got to understand.”
Q – Going into each game, what is your biggest objective?
EJ - “My biggest objective is just to feel like I’ve been able to help the team and if that’s me playing on game day, preparing people in practice. I just want to make an impact on this team.”
Q – Personally, what are you doing to improve this season?
EJ - “I’m working real hard, I’m in the gym as much I can be. When we play pick up I play as hard as I can to let these guys know that I want to play.
I mean, all of us want to play so I’m trying to compete with them, make them better and they’re doing the same.”
Q - If you were stranded on a private island with any of your teammates, who would you want with you?
EJ - “Marcus Lee, cause that’s my dawg. If he doesn’t say me I’m never answering a question with him again.
When you ask him I want you to tell him what I said. He better say me!”
