We know what it feels liked to be here and win it, and we know what it feels like to be here and lose it.
I think his goal is to be a coach and he'll be able to do some things as a student assistant coach that a lot of people can't do. He'll get a couple of years of training that a lot of guys have to wait for until after they graduate.
Last year, they played a bunch of close games. Learning how to win doesn't happen overnight. Coach (Bobby) Johnson has done a good job of teaching that in a real methodical way.
The same guy that recruited those guys also coached them and that shows. Those guys went from having a lot of potential to having a big impact and that doesn't happen by accident. It takes guidance.
This is their chance to get in during a game and do it when it counts. This is their chance to show the coaches that they deserve more playing time.
They executed beautifully. I would have enjoyed watching them if I weren't coaching in this game.
This is a deserving tribute for a special young man. All of our coaches will be in attendance, and we look forward to seeing D. J. and his family appropriately honored.
I see our basketball team beginning to get these great commitments and beginning to build for the future, and I see the same thing from Coach Croom's team. I don't see either of those men looking for shortcuts.
He (Stafford) has come a long way. But there's a lot left to learn, which can only come through experience.
It wasn't quite the way we designed it with Joe stumbling, ... That's not the way it was supposed to go. I'm sure people would have been talking about that play for years if we'd won.
D.J. was about as comfortable as I've seen him in the first quarter of that Arkansas game. Hopefully, he can get right back in the groove.
I really am sincere when I say that it's wide-open. We want to keep a completely open mind but be as fair as we can.
I'm just not really interested in doing a lot of that. Not to say I wouldn't, but if I did, it would be probably to help a charitable organization, or something like that.
Once he settles down into his normal game, I think we're all going to be very pleased.
