“They want me to come in and be more of a 4 or 3 offensively and be able to guard many positions with my athleticism,” Alston said on Monday. “They want to work on my three point shot the most but just love my motor, athleticism and rebounding they think all of that translates at any level but he showed me clips of Mo and Justin Champagnie on where they see me as playing.”
Alston, who played two seasons at Cal U, averaged 21 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game this season.
Since entering the portal, he has heard from over 60 schools, and programs such as Ole Miss, Loyola Chicago, Akron, Kent State, and Pitt have all prioritized him the most.
