**7/11 Update**

Alex was impressive in our 4-2 record at the Adidas Invitational this week, including a monster of a game in the opening round of tournament play with 25 pts/10 rebounds with college coaches watching. A very good week for the program and Alex. He has a good mix of an inside/outside game that includes an open court game that is very aggressive. He still boasts that he has plenty of work to do! Although committed to Bellarmine University, the feedback on Alex was very positive. Main thing heard over and over was that he has a D1 motor!

Very few have the work ethic that Alex has, and it shows everyday with the way he practices, plays, and goes about his business. Poised and ready for a good July and senior season!

Officially committed to Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY

Today, the Naval Academy expressed interest in Alex. Always an honor to hear from the military institutions. He holds offers from Walsh and Bellarmine Universities.

**1/23 Update**

Alex has joins the 2016 Prospects coming from Male High School and the Louisville Spartans and Coach Brandon Moore. He possesses an offer from Bellarmine University and interest includes Belmont University. Like his new teammates, we are very excited to have him in the Prospects program.

**10/16 Update**
Wednesday evening, Alex picked up an offer from Bellarmine University and Coach Scott Davenport. Well deserving! Congratulations to Alex and his family...

**10/6 Update**
Alex had a good visit today to Bellarmine University; said he likes the coaches and the players. He will visit again, soon.

**10/2 Update**
Scheduled visit to Bellarmine University next Monday the 6th of October. Expecting some nice things from Alex this season, had a good summer!

**9/15 Update**
Alex was watched at Male High by Coach Scott Davenport of Bellarmine University. Alex also has a visit to Bellarmine coming up in October.

Alex is a member of the Louisville Spartans, a brother program to the Prospects and one being involved is a complete joy! Part of the role with the Spartans is player development. Helping to develop Alex has been and will continue to be a rewarding experience. With varsity experience at Male during the 13-14 season w/above averages for a sophomore (14 ppg; 9 rpg; 3.5 apg), 14-15 looks to be a breakout year. With the Spartans this past summer, Alex and the team, simply won! Coach Brandon Moore of the Spartans is very experienced in preparing guys for elite competition and selflessly promoting his guys for the next level. His summer included in a finale of competing against c/o 2015 in the 17th Annual Battle of the Bridges and he did much better than just "holding his own."

A couple of notes worth mentioning about Alex's game, coaches can appreciate the way he elevates on his jump shot. The other, he is truly competitive, he is able to perform at an extremely high-level, regardless of the opposition's talent level. I am excited for this student-athlete's future, as a high-character student-athlete, he has a bright future.. This profile will continue to be updated, as his development proceeds. This is a development that I am excited to be a part of and will keep best interest, in mind.
