| Rob Mathews:
Anthony,
thank you for your time. |
|
Anthony Kent:
No problem. |
|
| Rob Mathews:
First off, what
made you want to come to Ball State? |
|
Anthony Kent: I came to
Ball
State
because it was a good situation for me. Coach Buckley, I knew that he had
experience working with big men, and he could help make me a better player
and reach my potential.
|
|
| Rob Mathews:
What other schools
were recruiting you? |
|
Anthony Kent: Southern Indiana, Youngstown, Akron, and a lot of other
mid majors. |
|
| Rob Mathews:
What areas of
your game and conditioning did you work on over the summer? |
|
Anthony Kent: I
tried to work on my overall strength. I tried to work on my jump shot,
and
then just a lot on my foot work in the post and my post game. |
|
| Rob Mathews:
Who is
your favorite NBA player? Why? |
|
Anthony Kent:
Kevin Garnett, because he’s so versatile and does so much for his team. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
How have
you been able to fit in on the team? How is the chemistry so far? |
|
Anthony Kent: I think I’ve fit into the team well. I think I can be an
inside presence that we need. The team, I think we jelled well together
over the summer just playing together every day. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
Speaking of being an
inside presence, are you familiar with Lonnie Jones, and do you expect to
have a presence similar to what he had?
|
|
Anthony Kent: Yes, I expect to be an inside presence like Lonnie Jones,
except maybe step out a little more and hit the open shots as well. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
In what ways do you
expect the DI game to be different than junior college? |
|
Anthony Kent: Division one is a lot more physical and everybody can
play at the division one level. It’s just a faster game – faster and more
physical. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
In what ways do
you look to contribute this season? |
|
Anthony Kent: Hopefully I can just rebound and alter shots. I would
say overall just be an inside presence basically. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
Of your group of
newcomers, who is the best three point shooter, rebounder, defender, passer,
ball handler? It is ok to name yourself. |
|
Anthony Kent: The best three point shooter is Landon. I would go with
myself (for best rebounder). I would go with Anonthy Newell (as the best
defender). I would go with myself (as the best ball handler and passer).
|

| Rob Mathews:
Tell the fans
one interesting fact about yourself. |
|
Anthony Kent: I
just keep going. |
| |
| Rob Mathews:
What school
topics interest you? What’s your major (or possibilities)? |
|
Anthony Kent:
Business. Business management. |
