On this bonus episode of Bleav in DMV Hoops, Matt Modderno talks to American University star forward Matt Rogers. Rogers is also a Wizards fan and current intern for the Washington Mystics so we thought his experience may be interesting to fellow Wizards fans as well.
American University forward Matt Rogers returns to the show to talk about his decision to return to AU for a 5th season. Roger is a true student athlete and talks about how the AU education, the program's family atmosphere, and their unfinished business from last season all led to his decision to run it back. We talk about the influence of head coach Duane Simpkins on the program, which returning players are likely to take a jump this season, what they learned from last year, how he's grown on and off the court, and what the offseason is like for a D1 basketball player. Plus, AU's biggest rivals, his toughest matchups, and who the Wizards should take with the #2 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. If you want to go behind-the-scenes on what it's like to be on a college basketball team, this is the episode for you! Presented by betonline.ag! - Laat meer zien
