HEAD COACH JASON HOOTEN:
"Aaron is much stronger and has put on more than 20 pounds since his freshman year. He has a good skill package and can be a productive player. Aaron really came on in the last 10 games of the season. He will be a guy who will compete for a starting job this year. We will look to Aaron for improved rebounding and interior defense. Aaron will have an opportunity to graduate in three years."
