Head Coach Paul Mills on Saunders
“Aidan is a competitor who is wired to score the basketball. He’s at his best when he’s in attack mode; where he can really get downhill to get to the basket and is able to use his pull up mid-range jumper.  He is a winner who has won a state championship at Miller Grove HS in Georgia. We are excited Aidan has joined our basketball family at ORU.”
