As an undersized PG in HS (5’11”, 140lbs) Dags persevered through countless rejections by D1, D2, and D3 Schools to finally earn a Scholarship to NCAA D2 The College of Saint Rose.  It was there, in the Northeast-10 Conference (In which 13 out of the 15 teams didn’t even respond to his recruiting letters) that he became the 2x Player of the Year in the Conference and ultimately a 2x All-American and Academic All-American.  After College, Dags played professionally in Spain, Italy, Hungary, Iceland, and ultimately the United Kingdom where his team the Sheffield Sharks won the BBL Cup with Dags setting a record of 35 Points and 8 Three Pointers in the Championship Game.
