QUOTING COACH SENDEK ON ERIC
"Eric has a great basketball body for a young player. He moves exceptionally well both with his running the floor as well as his lateral agility for a young man his size. He has good hands. He can score inside and out and I think he has an edge and toughness about him that will really help our program."
