Ayton spoke softly but confidently, as always, during his Q&A. One student asked if he was a "one-and-done" and Ayton answered with his typical response.
"That's the plan," he said.
Ayton was also asked what shoe size he wears (18), how long his wingspan is (7-foot-6) and the faculty moderator asked him how he felt about sitting down addressing students — when he had been in a similar position years before (Ayton later said he once listened to Klay Thompson speak years ago).
Ayton paused to reflect on that one.
"This is ... sometimes it doesn’t feel real," he said. "I was in this seat listening to someone else. I’m sitting here. It’s really crazy. I still don’t believe it. I would say it’s just a sacrifice and always put God first. That’s about it. You know what I mean?"
With that, the students broke into applause and Ayton headed out the door to take more photos and hop back on that bus with his teammates.
