“Chol will bring us the experience and maturity we need on the interior. He has a phenomenal wingspan and elite size at his position. We are also excited about what he adds on offense, on the block and on the perimeter. With Chol being honored as a CSC Academic All-District selection, he fits the all-around profile that we look for in a Spartan. We are excited to see Chol in the Blue & Gold!”
