“The coaches really made me feel welcome,’’ he said. “Going around looking at the facilities, looking at the rooms and the dorms, just a beautiful campus. Talking to some of the players, they let me know they’re ready to win. Everybody around seemed so excited for the season to come up. The fan base is going to be crazy and the coaches are just really pumped for this year. I’m excited.”

Pickett played AAU ball for the City Rocks program along with Shaker High School grad Sloan Seymour who also committed to play his college ball at Siena this week.
