Birmingham basketball coach Nick Halic suggested to his players they join a spring sport to help with their development.

The high jump became his event because he was close to 6 feet 4 with a vertical leap so impressive Halic said, “He’s one of the highest-jumping kids I’ve seen. He would do stuff in practice that you’d be amazed and it was effortless.”

“I can only imagine how good he’s going to be,” Halic said.

“His gift is this track and field event,” Halic said.

That was Birmingham coach Nick Halic moving 6-foot-5 senior Alex Dupre to point guard one month ago.
