He's a complete player. He is going to be an excellent pro and he could be playing for the Sonics right now just as much as for the Huskies.
Brandon is just absolutely terrific. Looking at the stats, it's amazing how good this kid is.
Everybody is contributing to this program, even the guys that aren't playing or don't get to play as much.
I'm impressed with all of you. You were here at 11 a.m. after leaving at 2 or 3 in the morning. You guys are tough, very hard-working. You all deserve a raise.
It will take a team of horses to hold him from being able to play.
God, did he make some incredible athletic plays.
The normal fan out there has no idea how hard they work and how committed they are to the academic side.
It's been frustrating, because we haven't been able to stay healthy. We've had one practice the entire year where we've had all 12 scholarship players healthy. But that's part of the game.
I mean, come on. That is very, very unfair of him to characterize his team like that after the kind of year they've had and some of the quality wins they've had.
It's really exciting to watch how he's developed. He's very, very athletic. He takes great pride in being so bright out there and knowing everything he's supposed to do.
I'm very pleased that the outcome was a successful one and we're looking forward to having Josh back as soon as he is completely healed.
They must have eight guys who are long, athletic, bouncy and can block shots. It's like walking into a human fly swatter.
This team never, ever gets affected by it. They just continue to battle back. There's nothing that they haven't seen in terms of adversity that's going to bother them.
This team never, ever gets affected ... they just battle back. We're playing our best basketball of the year by far right now.
