He wants to do everything he can for the varsity program. He wants to make Thomas Jefferson as good as it can be. |
He's engaged. He asks very good questions. I will tell you the president gets it. He's committed to rebuilding the Gulf Coast. |
He's got wheels. He's one of the fastest kids I've ever coached. He has great puck-handling skills. He's a horse; you don't ever see kids like him. He has a tremendous slap shot. |
