Josh is a very good student and so committed to improving as a player. He has worked hard competing in summer tournaments and taken every opportunity he has to develop and improve his game. He's built himself into one of the best players in the nation, and I have nothing but respect for his work ethic in all areas.UNC Head Coach Sam Paul
