Coach Joyce on Michael: "Michael might have had the best freshmen year, statistically speaking, of any players since I came to NJC five years ago. As a result, he will be expected to shoulder the load in all facets of the game including scoring, rebounding, defense, and leadership. His skill and athleticism make him one of the best prospects in the country this year."
