"Aamer deserves this great opportunity, as he has consistently worked to become a professional basketball player. I am very thankful for all that he did for our basketball program. He helped us win 40 games over the last two years, and I still remember his performance against Florida State in 2022 when he helped lead us to victory. I look forward to watching Aamer do great things this season!"
