Personal:

Born Feb. 14, 1995 ... Son of Scott and Latonda Snider ... Has one younger brother (Cameron) ... Major is communication.
Personal goal at UofL is to “earn a degree and become successful.”
Best moment of his athletic career to date was
advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight as a freshman and reaching the state championship in high school.
Enjoys hanging with his neighborhood friends in his spare time.
Chose to attend UofL because “I always dreamed to play for Louisville since I was seven, I’m from Louisville and I want to play for my city.”
Best basketball advice given to him was to “stay in the gym.”
Most proud of being himself.
Feels Derek Luke would be the best actor to play him in a movie.
His dad has had the greatest influence on his athletic career.
When he played basketball as a kid, he pretended he was Allen Iverson.
Few people know that he collects basketball cards and loves cheese.
Chose to wear number 4 when it became available -- changing from No. 2 his first two collegiate seasons -- because he has worn No. 4 throughout his career.
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his family photo on the wall.
Among reality shows, he feels he would fare best on Love & Hip Hop in Atlanta.
Best thing about being a Cardinal is “being a part of a family.”
What impresses him the most about Coach Pitino: “he pushes you to be the best you can be.”
Would most like to meet God, Allen Iverson
