I'm good friends with Nic's sister. We went to high school together and she would always tell me how bad arse her younger brother was at basketball. he was in jr high so I never really thought of it till he started blowing highschool kids up at Hightower.


...then transferred to Kingwood.

ya I knew he transfered somewhere but I couldn't remember where cause I was out of highschool by the time he started. His sister would tell me how their dad was the Hightower coach and he would bring her 8th grade brother in for summer camps to ball on his varsity. My Sr yr Hightower and the school I came from were number 1 and 2 in the state and both nationally ranked and Nic would play with those guys easily. He was/is a beast
