He was one of the top shooters in the country during his sophomore season at UALR. This past season he transitioned to a point guard and is phenomenal in ball screen decision making. He will be one of the more athletic players we have had and has great size and speed for a guard. I am excited that Dre will be part of our 2019-20 season."
