This kid put up some amazing statistics in productivity at Bowling Green. We still think he has some improvement that can really come upon him at the pro level.

gets move settled situation slow uncertain uncharted until
Once the situation is settled it'll go very quickly. But if it isn't, it's going to go real slow because it's uncharted waters. You don't want to make a move that you may not have to make, and we're uncertain of what we can do until this thing gets ironed out.
