Fails to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. Despite a one-line claim to professionalism, no evidence pointing to such and thus also fails WP:NHOOPS. PROD removed for "played professionally" but evidence lacks. GauchoDude (talk) 23:37, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Non-notable college basketball player. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for high school athletes per WP:NHSPHSATH or college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH, and there is insufficient significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, either. I note that the unsourced pro team linked in the infobox, the West Virginia Wheels, was a minor league team and does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for pro players per WP:NBASKETBALL, even if subject played in one or more games.
