Not the 6 10 AT. The 5 10 AT. Can't confirm. Found it looking up our graduating seniors. Google his name with eurobaskets.
The only person higher on AT than I was Coach E. Sat with him when AT played against Malachi 's team. Too bad he hurt his shoulder and our style changed from uptempo to deliberate. So much speed and toughness.

As has been pointed out, there was nothing uptempo about CMB's offense. If his shoulder was injured through his senior year, he should not have been shooting as many(any ?) threes. His tenacity and character were admirable.

We pressed full court. Much preferred for AT's speed and defense. He played and shot better with faster teammates, dd, eg, jb, mm.
Congrats to the young man if he has in fact begun to make a living at basketball.

give it up, 70. there's a reason you can't confirm this.
at is probably a fine young man with a bright future in life, but there isn't much demand in professional basketball for a very short, slightly built player who doesn't shoot, finish, drive and dish very well with defensive limitations in classic man-to-man defense against point guards who will often have 6+ inches in height, 25+ lbs in bulk, and superior point guard instincts.
you can continue to blame carmody for at's poor play, and give us the same coach e bullcrap, but hoops (and others before him) has already poked massive holes in that argument.
p.s. - it's possible at could play in a semi-pro league in england, ireland, etc. (ala our walk-on kerrigan) but it's highly unlikely that he would garner any interest in one of the legitimate, higher-tier leagues in france (ala big pat whearty), spain, italy, etc. this is just reality.
p.p.s. - if any of this year's class has a legitimate pro future, it would seem to be malachi. he has good size, a nice perimeter stroke, and put up consistent numbers at hc with some accolades (always important in negotiating contracts).

give it up, 70. there's a reason you can't confirm this. . . . p.s. - it's possible at could play in a semi-pro league in england, ireland, etc. (ala our walk-on kerrigan) but it's highly unlikely that he would garner any interest in one of the legitimate, higher-tier leagues in france (ala big pat whearty), spain, italy, etc. this is just reality. 1. Lots of players' names show up on the Eurobasket site without having a contract. I believe that they show any player whose agent has said are interested in playing in Europe. There are many names listed on the site who never ended up playing. 2. Definitely won't get interest from a higher tier league - but there are dozens of third-tier leagues in "Europe" that might be willing to take a chance on him. For example, the first four leagues on the Eurobasket list are Albania, Armenia, Austria, and Azerbaijan. However, it must be noted that the weaker leagues pay their players less than $50k per year (sometimes much less) and the checks might bounce. Also the contracts in those leagues are seldom guaranteed. Play badly or get hurt, and you are gone. That is why many Americans opt to end their pro aspirations rather than play in those types of leagues.

I may have had one conversation with AT in his 4 years and spoke with his parents and family in Dayton. I don't pretend to know AT but he connected with me via LinkedIn. He is listed as a Data Analyst at Innovaire. I certainly wish him well but pretty sure his basketball career is over unless it is to become a coach at some local high school.

If you are referring to AT's senior 3 pt Fg%, that was 30.6%., a higher bucket than .288 if not, please clarify.

Adriatic League (ABA) - Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Sovenia, etc. 8. Greek A1 League 9. Australia's National Basketball League (NBL) 10. Lithuania's LKL 11. Chinese Basketball Association (CBA)
And computer rankings from last spring for Europe only:
