 during his career with the Wildcats, Willis blossomed into a solid contributor during the past two years and started 15 of 38 games last season. Willis averaged seven points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

“I just started working at it a little more than I was and that helped me out a lot,” Willis said. “The support system was good and a lot to people kept telling me to be confident and stay positive.”

Now that his college career is over and a professional one looming, Willis wants Big Blue Nation to remember him “as a kid who made it through some tough times and came out on top.”

“I made some mistakes in college, fought through them, didn’t play at first, but fought through that and now I’m about to graduate with a degree and make some money playing basketball,” he said. “You’ve just got to adapt to adversity and if you get frustrated, just fight through it and hopefully they can identify with that and understand that you can live out your dreams if you work at it.”
