He brings a great deal of athleticism to the court, he finished around the rim very well and he can guard all five positions on the floor. He's the kind of guy every coach needs in his program. We are very lucky to have him."

"David (Hunt) is a fiery competitor and he'll be an excellent teammate," Holt noted. "His best basketball is still ahead of him. He'll continue to get better and better and I'm excited to see the role David will take year after year in our program. He's a great person off the court, and tremendous talent on the court, and I'm happy he's on our side."
