What Prince-Alexander Moody said about Indiana basketball
In an interview with On3’s Joe Tipton, Moody explained why he committed to Indiana:
“I chose them (Indiana) because it immediately felt like home. At the airport today, I didn’t even want to leave to be honest. DRoc (Darian DeVries) is amazing. Me and him created a bond that’s crazy. I love him and he loves me. And the man that started it all was Kenny (Johnson). He’s been family since I met him and has been recruiting me since 7th grade. He changed my life basically. The whole Indiana coaching staff is great. The university is great. Bloomington is the most peaceful place I’ve ever been to. They’re great in academics and I can workout whenever I want. It’s just a whole different world. It’s like they have their own village, it’s just amazing. They just had everything I needed, plus more and I love their play style.”
