Sheffield Says:
“Stanford is the best blend of academics and athletics. During my visit, I was able to see just how motivated the guys are both in school and basketball, and that made me want to be a part of the program. I have a great relationship with the coaches and became comfortable with them early in my recruitment. I’m looking forward to making the move to the West Coast and starting a new chapter in my life.”
