Ja'Kobe Walter has his entire jersey over his face, bawling his eyes out. I don't think I've ever seen a true freshman of that caliber — a sure-fire one-and-done — play his guts out like that and care so much.

Lots of emotions being felt right now but focusing on gratitude.
Thank you doesn’t even begin to describe it. But thank you seniors. You ran through the wall first - we will always love y’all.
