FRAN McCAFFERY ON RILEY MULVEY
“I am very excited to have Riley Mulvey join our program. Riley really knows how to play. He is a skilled front court player with excellent defensive instincts. He is an excellent shot blocker and can run the floor. Offensively, he can finish around the basket and score off either shoulder. Riley will be a great addition to our program.”
