Coach Herenda on Dadika (Prior to 2018-19 Season): "Marc is a young man that has great size and a tremendous skill set and he will only continue to get bigger and better. We just love his upside -- he is only 17-years old, 6'8", can score on the block and step out and stretch defenses. On top of everything, Marc and his family are great local people and I have said from day one that I want to grow this program from within our area and today we did just that -- in a big way."
