Q&A:
HC: How do you want to leave your mark on campus, aside from basketball?
KM: I just want to leave a good legacy behind me as the nice guy that everyone could get along with and like. I want people to see that I work hard as a student athlete and that I am caring and I don’t ever want to be negative.
HC: If not Butler, where do you think you would be right now?
KM: I don’t know, honestly. I committed to Butler so early that it’s like I didn’t really look at other schools after Butler scouted me.
HC: Are you a momma’s boy?
KM: I guess… I’m really both. Both of my parents played (basketball) in college, so they give me a hard time sometimes but I love them both and I’m thankful for everything they do. My mom played at Western Kentucky and my dad played at Kentucky Wesleyan.
HC: What is your favorite spot on campus?
KM: I just really like the locker room. I go workout there a lot and there is a TV so I’ll just go o hang out or do homework. I love it in there.
HC: What is your favorite event on campus?
KM: I love homecoming. There is so much going on and I like the tailgating.
HC: Where do you want to end up?
KM: I would love the opportunity to play basketball at the next level and move somewhere warm like Miami or L.A. and if I don’t play after college I would want to get into sports analysis so that I can still be involved in basketball.
HC: How do you feel being called the “big man on campus”?
KM: I mean, I think it’s pretty cool. I’m glad that I am seen that way.
