“This is Dante’s third season as a Bruin and he’s paid his dues. He plays the game the right way and we use him in all situations,” Austin head coach Steve Howard said. “We are hoping that a NCAA Division I program will see that potential and the fact that he can fit anywhere in their line up next season.”
