Quote of the Day
“Gicarri gives us a lot of versatility in the backcourt. He can play both positions and can guard a lot of people. You want guys that can play multiple positions, that can handle the ball and facilitate and then play off the ball, and Gicarri can do that.”
-Matt Painter on incoming Purdue hoops recruit Gicarri Harris
