Quotable: “Michael’s commitment is a groundbreaking moment for Stanford basketball. Most importantly, he is a fantastic kid from a great family. He is driven to achieve both on the court and in the classroom, and will fit in perfectly with the Stanford community.

On the court, Michael provides a tremendous skill set. He can score in a variety of ways and can defend multiple positions. He played an integral role on an NCAA Tournament team and will provide experience that will immediately lift our program. We are so excited to have Michael join the Stanford community." – Jerod Haase
