WISE SENIOR GUARD
SHERWYN DEVONISH
PREPARING FOR THE NEXT LEVEL
WISE HIGH SCHOOL
UPPER MARLBORO MD.
1. Age, height, weight? 17, 6’0, 180 lbs.
2. What schools, Rec teams, boys & girls teams & AAU teams did you play for growing up? William Wirt middle school, Bladensburg, Columbia Park & Cedar Heights recreation, I also played for the Maryland Cougars as a kid, then Team Takeover & Maryland's Finest.
3. You won a championship as a senior this year can you explain that feeling & reflect back to what were you personal goals before the season started?Winning a championship was the best feeling in the world, getting a chance to win something was completely a blessing and a breathtaking experience. Not to many people can say that they won something. My personal goals, were to go to a Division1 school for free & to live up to my father's name, to exceed past all doubt and make this year something to remember .
4. You recently committed to HBCU Morgan State University - what was it about Morgan State during the recruitment process that made you decide that you wanted to begin your college academic/athletic career there? Morgan is just a wonderful, wonderful campus everything is spaced out and it makes you feel free in a sense. The coaching staff expects a lot out of me coming in as a freshman, and they treat everyone like family, they focus on building relationships mainly and academically they one of the best in my eyes, wonderful technology and professors.
5. Did distance - being close to home factor into your college decision? No. I didnt mind going to California or either staying in Maryland !!
6. How much of a factor did Morgan State being an HBCU play into your decision & what are your expectations for your HBCU college experience? At the end of the day a university is a university at the end of the day, I’m here to excel and to win championships. With Morgan being an HBCU it made me feel even more comfortable to attend but if I went to a PWI, nothing would affect me because of how I am, I can pretty much get use to any environment.
7. Now that you have announced your commitment - can you confirm the potential Georgetown University whispers - was there any interest on their end in you as a student/athlete
There was interest but things aren’t always peaches & cream.
8. What do you plan to work on this summer to improve your game prior to your freshmen year at Morgan? Work on the pick and roll, being more effective in that aspect, I also want to increase my speed and changing directions and working in the weight room. Work on my balance and getting stronger.
9. Did you ever strongly consider doing a prep year before college? If I had to then that was going to be an option but I didn't really want to go prep. God had a plan for me.
10. Reflecting back on your high school & AAU career what would be one thing that you would change about each? Nothing, I dont regret a thing.
