For him, it was extremely hard. He had so many expectations placed on him. You could even see where the pressure became so great on Isaiah. This was his team. I think it made him physically sick. ... He did not want to let his teammates down, his coaches down, his community down. |
It's like the whole world is lifted off his shoulders. Now he's thinking about prom, he's thinking about the green-and-white (of Michigan State). He's looking forward, and that's what young people should be doing. |

We started looking, and God brought us here. |
