"I am pleased to land a student-athlete the caliber of Sam Wildes,"
said Coach Dave Gibbs of UWMC. "He is a conscientious performer
in the classroom and on the court, and has worked hard for everything he's
obtained. On top of that, he comes from a program accustomed to winning.
I look forward to working with him for two years."
