Blaine On Kent: "Kent has had a very enigmatic experience which has taken him from a rural experience to big time college basketball. The additional transition from being a good high school player to somebody who has the responsibilities , who has the ball in his hands and guarding at a very high level has been one like growth rings on the tree. As Kent becomes more mature and consistent, his contributions to the goals of the group and individual development are very promising. "
