Coach’s Comments: “Gareth possesses a soft shooting touch and good jumping ability on the offensive side.  He is one of our bigger players, so he is being counted upon to fill a rebounding need on this team.  Adjusting to the physical nature of college basketball will be his greatest challenge.  As his intensity of play increases, his performance will follow.  The ability to defend at this level may determine the extent of his role this season.”
