When I walk down with Cousy I'm walking in as the face of New England as the face of so many people who weren't fortunate enough to get into what I got into.
awful came certainly incredibly kids losses proud
It certainly was one of the more disappointing losses we've had in an awful long time. I'm proud of the way the kids came back. But I'm incredibly, incredibly disappointed in the loss and incredibly disappointed in myself.
bottom emotional game incredibly intense kids line rather trying
The bottom line is that I'd rather let the kids play on. Kids are going to get emotional in a game like that and I don't think Brandon or Rudy were trying to do anything more. It was such an incredibly intense game, they just kind of got into each other a little bit. They were not doing anything.

The ability to take somebody off the bounce is incredibly important. It's really tough to defend a guy who can go by you.

He's an incredibly talented kid but he's a very young kid. I said the other day I would like to keep him another year. I'd like to keep him another two years if I possibly could.
drafted gifted great hate incredibly kid millions needs next pass potential top year
He's an incredibly gifted kid with great potential who probably needs to come back next year but can't, because he's going to be drafted in the top five, probably. He can't come back and pass on millions and millions of dollars. That's our system. I hate it, but I'm going to tell him if he's going to be in the top five, which I keep hearing, he needs to go.
assertive incredibly needs talented today
Rudy needs to be more assertive. He's an incredibly talented kid, but he's a young kid. Today he was assertive and made his moves. At times today he was unstoppable.

I don't know if there's anything he can't do. He can coach, he's obviously going to represent a university as well as anybody I know. He's a tremendous person. He's incredibly bright. He's got the respect of the kids. He can be, in his own way, very tough. He's got as much energy as anybody can have.

I see nothing but greatness ahead for him and therefore it made sense for all of us. There's no question that Rudy will fulfill the promise of those people who draft him. He's got every attribute. He's bright, he's a wonderful person, incredibly well raised and he's just a tremendously, tremendously talented young guy.
