We get to talk to the freshman.

Josh O said it was a waiting game to get back to the USA. Said they kept checking websites when the boarder would be open. Said he arrived in late August. Fran has talked about illness. Didn't want to disclose. Said he had to wait things out and see how it goes. Said he is still trying to get back into shape and see what happens.

Josh O asked about the doubters. Brunner came to his defense. Said it was nice he said that. Said he is self motivated to prove the doubters wrong.

Going up against Luka, he said it wasn't a surprise, but it was. He knew what it would be like from watching him. Said it's very hard.

Asked why he was so popular with his teammates. Said he is probably the funniest guy on the team. Like to talk to people.

Asked about his game. Said he thinks he has good feet. Needs to become more athletic. Said goal this year is to be around to fill in when he can and be ready. Says he knows not many opportunities there with Luka on the team.

Said he keeps being positive through everything. Said he asked Gabe Olaseani about Iowa and one thing he asked about was if Iowa was in the middle of the cornfield. He also asked Gabe if Fran was crazy....:) Gabe told him no and that there was a reason for the way he does things.
