“I chose ASU because of the very warm welcome I received from the entire coaching staff throughout the recruiting process. I always felt wanted and valued. My fellow Lithuanian and friend, Paulius, also told me that the coaching staff creates a true family environment and their values really matched mine. I had zero doubts about my decision and was 100% committed to starting this journey and getting to work."
