PBR: Do you have any offers at this stage?
Fitzgerald: No, I have no offers at this time.
PBR: Do you have a timeline for your recruitment?

Fitzgerald: At this time I do not have a favorite, but I really liked the campus at St. Joseph’s College.
PBR: What showcases or events have been most meaningful to your recruitment thus far?
Fitzgerald: Playing in the Showcase League this past fall for Team MA Gold resulted in several contacts and camp invites from colleges. I just recently attended a showcase at Northeastern University in which several college coaches were in attendance. I am hopeful that some new opportunities will arise from this.
PBR: GPA/ACT/SAT?
Fitzgerald: My current GPA is a 3.0 and I will be taking the SAT for the first time this spring.
