The senior chose head coach Rick Pitino and company over Duke, Kentucky and Arkansas among others. The Brooklyn native averaged 15.7 points, 7 rebounds and 5.1 assists last season en route to an All-Big East first-team appearance. He led the Pirates to and ultimately won the annual NIT championship.
