Why Yale? “On top of the historic buildings and the great facilities, what I like most about Yale are the people. Whether it is the students, coaches, professors, or those heavily involved with Yale, I couldn’t help but notice the genuine passion and driven nature everybody displayed, no matter their pursuits. With that, I appreciate the connectivity and collaboration embedded within the environment Yale creates, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to call Yale home.”
 
Jones on Bolte: “Chris is a combo guard/forward with a high basketball IQ and tremendous versatility. He's an unselfish player who can score at all three levels, and he's a great teammate who consistently puts the team first."
