WHAT HE SAID

On what he's most excited about when he enrolls early in January: "I'm ready to see how the workouts are. I want to see if I'm going to survive the first week, I hear that's one of the hardest times. I'm kind of nervous but excited for it and see how the Georgia Tech class is going to be. I'm just going to have fun for my next four years in college."

On if he'll miss his last semester of high school to enroll early: "I've had a great high school career. I've been blessed with a lot of opportunities, so I'm not really sentimental. … I don't think I'll be one of the ones that will cry or anything. I'm excited to go to college and start a new level. I've done so much in high school I feel like it's time for me to go to college and explode."
