Personal:

Born Sept. 26, 1990 ... Son of Dan and Joyce Van Treese .... Has an older (Nathan) and younger (Jordan) brother ... Major is communications.
Personal goal at U of L is to "use my abilities to take me places."
Enjoys fishing, riding ATVs, playing baseball and spending time on computers in his spare time.
Chose to attend U of L because "I wanted to play for Coach Pitino and play for a program like Louisville."
Best basketball advice given to him was "to not give it your best is to sacrifice your gifts."
Most proud of "my family and where I'm from."
His father has had the greatest influence on his athletic career.
When he played basketball as a kid, he pretended he was Dirk Nowitski.
Wanted to wear No. 44 because "it has been my number all of my life."
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his bed and television.
What impresses him the most about Coach Pitino: how well he knows the game and his will to win.
Would most like to meet Peyton Manning.
