Coach McCall on Gasperini
“Mark is big and physical and can really pass as a frontcourt player. He adds that experience factor into our team, and is also a versatile frontcourt player. He’s going to compete in practice with and against Tre every day, and they’ll make each other better. Mark is a high character kid, and getting a master’s degree from UMass is very important to him.”
