Roddy Gayle at Michigan Media Day

I think this is just the next step for us so far. So I'm good moving forward. I don't know where forward leads me, but as of today, we got the good news.

I think that this team is very young and I feel like it's full of possibilities. I think that's I think that we're great, especially in the backcourt. And I feel like that's kind of where our leadership is going to start. In previous years, I think that we had really dominant bigs, and I think that's where our foundation began.

But I think this team is going to start with Elliot and Trey. Those guys have made extreme steps as far as their leadership goes, I think, over the past— in the summer. Even like for me witnessing them all year and then coming back late July, I kind of Automatically, like, experienced their— I felt the aura that they have, this team, and the things that they have. Where

Yeah, most definitely. I feel like after the season, like, mentally I felt like I moved on. Then when we got that information that I can possibly come back, like, it was joyful because I missed all this. I missed the support staff.

I missed the players. I miss being part of a program bigger than one person. So I feel like when I had the opportunity to come back, it was a no-brainer for me. Yes, my ultimate goal is to play in the NBA, play at the next level, but I feel like that isn't going— there's no timetable on that where there is for college.
