Grandfather was a goalie, uncle was a basketball player for the Turkish National Team ... chose Texas Tech because "of Coach Ustundag (former assistant coach). He told me there was an opportunity at Tech for me. I knew he had a lots of knowledge about the game. When I came here, I saw that Coach Siegel and Coach Ustundag were a great match.
