All the stories are devastating, but the one that hit home with me was the story of a 7-year-old kid. They were trying to give him toys, and he broke down crying and said, 'These aren't my toys, these aren't my friends, those aren't my parents, those aren't my brothers.' The kid lost his mom and dad and both brothers. Imagine losing your whole family. |
Any win for us right now is a big win. |
He's really mature, a lot more mature than most people think. I think every situation he stepped into, he's handled everything very well. I don't see anything changing. |
Hopefully, we showed him that we do want to make it and our focus is still on making the playoffs. |
I don't know how long I'll play. You've got to ask Coach that. But I'll be in the game. |
I felt like the first day of school or something. My heart was beating a little faster, my anticipation was building up. It was like the first day of school when you go to kindergarten or something. |
I had a great workout yesterday. Had a lot of fun. We won the scrimmage and my leg felt great. |
I have much more confidence in being able to play without the fear of it tearing on me again. Now I'm able to have an impact. |
I know I am not going to be playing my regular minutes for a while. When I come in, I am one of those guys that doesn't want to bring people down, I want to pump people up and pick it up a little bit. I want to bring energy and excitement and I want to do everything I can to help the team win. |
I thought we had our focus. We might have come out a little slow at first, but we picked it up, and we had a chance to win the game. |
I want to play a lot, but he makes those decisions. |
I've seen a couple things on TV about it. When I was there, and it wasn't too long ago, the white students got along with us great. Everybody took care of each other on campus. |
If you respect me by not picking up the option, I'll show trust and loyalty to you by signing with you. |
Imagine losing your entire family. When I got the chance to do this event, I was more than motivated. |
It was a fun game. It's always fun when we share the ball with each other. |
