Coach Keating on Karim
"Karim gives us size and length on the perimeter and provides us with versatility as well. He can shoot with range and knows how to score and at 6-8 will be able to play multiple spots. He also brings us our first lefty to the family. He, like his classmates, comes in with an understanding that they will be counted on to help raise the level of our play while performing at the best level possible off the floor."
Why Karim Chose Santa Clara
"I chose Santa Clara because of the opportunities available here. I was impressed by everything. I want to have the opportunity to become a great basketball player, student and person."
