confirm country recruiting
I can confirm that I'm recruiting the whole country right now.
believe great prove
I do believe this was a great fit. I just need to prove that now.
above believe care developing including player relationships special talking
I believe in developing relationships with the whole team. Not one player is above the team, including the coach. There is no special treatment. I don't care if you're talking about Reece Gaines or Kenyon Martin.
help obviously
It obviously didn't help us, not having him. But we make no excuses.
confidence games guys older passed resonates saw team win
They're not as young a team as they make out. Some of these guys were on that team. They saw the older guys making sacrifices. How to win big games is passed down. There's a confidence that resonates through the program.
believe crazy funny guys seen sure talked waitress year
The waitress said, 'I've never seen anything like this. You guys haven't talked to each other the whole time. We said it will be funny in a year or two. We'll look back on this like, 'Can you believe how crazy that was?' I'm sure we will.
great players
You know. Murray has had great players and great coaches.
city college fact hurt junior kid knows major short worried
A kid from a junior college or a transfer, he knows he's got a very short time. He's worried about, 'Do I like the coach?' and 'Do they win?' And from that standpoint, the fact that we're not in a major city doesn't hurt us anymore.
fifth foot guy guys multiple nation
The guy was fifth in the nation in scoring. He's 6 foot 2 and he's strong. I'm into guys that can play multiple positions.
credit davis east great job larry staff
I think the Big East helps. And my staff does a great job. I'll never take credit for all of our recruiting. (Assistant coach) Larry Davis did a great job with Marcus Sikes.
confident good gotten
I was confident he was a good player. But he's gotten better all year.
guy hopefully nervous road
He's been on the circuit. He's a guy that hopefully is not going to get nervous when we go on the road in the Big East.
