Coach Thomason on Nunnally: "Michael could be our starting center. I think he brings quickness, low post scoring and great energy. Because he is left handed, he needs to learn how to develop his right hand. He has a great attitude. He is going to have to gain experience at the Division I level, playing against a lot of big guys while handling the expectations that are going to be on his shoulders. Our team expects big things from him and I know he'll do well." |
