If the walls at Bishop Ludden could talk, they would have many stories to tell, including one about Mika Adams-Woods, a story that is still being written.

The senior Cincinnati point guard is back in Syracuse for a few weeks.

“It’s been a long time. It feels good to be back on my court where I played high school at. It’s a great feeling," Adams-Woods said.

It might be summer break, but he wasn’t doing much relaxing. Instead, with the fan blasting and sweat dripping down his face, he got in shot after shot. Dribble after dribble. In three years with the Gaelic Knights, he scored over 1,200 points.

“In high school, I was looked at for my scoring ability and always scoring. I think a lot of people didn’t look at my passing ability. It’s been a good transition for me, because I always had that aspect, and it helped me at the next level," Adams-Woods said.

At the next level, he’s lived up to his nickname "Shoey," given to him by a friend in AAU ball.

“He would always say I take people’s shoe laces and have the ball on a string," Adams-Woods explained.

He’s one of the best point guards in the country with a 2.81 assist-to-turnover ratio. It’s a number he takes pride in.

“To be able to pass the ball and get your teammates involved, that’s a good feeling to me," Adams-Woods said.

That “team first” mentality is why Adams-Woods has been a leader during every step of his journey.

“That’s what point guards do. You’ve got to lead, be vocal. Throughout my years being a point guard at Ludden and New Hampton, I think it’s really prepared me being at Cincinnati," Adams-Woods said.

There may only be one more college chapter in his book. But it’ll be a page-turner.
