From the Daily:
"Dustin played a huge role in my choice," McKay said. "Me and Dustin are really close. He is like my brother. We have seen each other grow and we click instantly when we get on the court. I could not pass up another chance to play with him."
The two tore up the NJCAA together as front court counterparts on one of the best junior college teams in the country, forging a brotherly bond through battle before their chances to make history were hijacked by an unsanctioned post of a teammate's bail.
McKay said part of his raging fire to win burns for himself and part of it burns for his team as a whole, but one part of it burns solely for his friend Hogue.
"This is Dustin's last year," McKay said. "I want him to go out with a bang. I want him to be remembered at Iowa State for the rest of his life for winning a national championship, so that is a big goal of mine."
The river of affection and concern McKay espouses for his now four-year teammate is not at a lack for reciprocation. It flows both ways.
"If I had to go to war with anybody on this planet, Jameel would definitely be one of those people," Hogue said. "We bled together, we fought together, we lost together and we won together. He knows what makes me tick and what makes me off. To have a guy like that who can talk me back in the right direction will be huge for me and for this team."
