Hi Jordan thanks for talking to germanhoops.com Where are you at the moment and how has your summer been going?

It’s going well and I am in Massachusetts at the moment.

You will be starting your second professional season and second in Germany with Cuxhaven. After a great rookie season with Speyer where you just missed moving up, you will return to the Regionalliga and play with Cuxhaven. Didn’t you have the right offers form the Pro B to continue your march up the basketball ladder?

No unfortunately I did not have any offers. I had some interests but no offers.
