Coach’s Comments:
“Kyle will create mismatches for opponents that will work to our advantage, he can dribble, pass, shoot, post up, and do things offensively you don’t normally see from a player his size. Kyle adds offensive fire power and a big presence on defense.” Hawaii Pacific Head Coach Darren Vorderbruegge (6/30/10)
