You got to love this kid. This is what I love to hear (players wanting to get better in the off-season):
“Last year I wasn’t expecting all the minutes I got, but I’m certainly not gonna complain about it.”
"In fact, he played in all 31 games, started six, and his 27.4 minutes per game average was second in the nation for all reserves. For Poole that experience will prove invaluable as he enters his sophomore season."
“I had a lot of things to work on, that I did over the summer. I had to work on my ball handling and my strength… I went into last season 170 (lbs.) “wet” trying to go against guys 205. I definitely put in a lot of work in the weight room this summer and over the preseason.”
"Head Coach Mitch Buonaguro said this of Poole."
" ... Like any freshman, it took some games to get used to what we were doing” said Buonaguro, “I expect him this year to be a real impact player. He can really shoot the ball. Last year, he was a little inconsistent, but this year we expect him to shoot in the high 30s from 3 and obviously be a double-figure scorer. ...”
"Despite his carefree personality off the court, Poole has a clear drive to improve his game."
“Honestly my goal is, I just want to be a real impact player at Siena. I just wanna set my mark at Siena, leave something that I want personally and I think working hard like that will let me get to that position “
