(There are) no plans currently for (the St. Peter Street crossing). We do have one coming up at St. Boniface. |
After everything he went through last year, he's mentally ready. There's not too much more he'll see that he can't handle. |
Doctors don't put in the God factor. |
He seems to appreciate things more now. He doesn't take things for granted like he used to. He's been through a lot having something that you love taken away from you. It grows you up real fast. |
He's handling it better than I expected. He's not trying to point the finger. He did what he did and he's facing whatever comes with it. He's answered every question, and he hasn't gone anywhere. He hasn't dodged anything. |
He's heard it from gang-bangers right in his ear when he played at Crenshaw. |
He's skipping around the house and playing in the snow. I haven't seen this side of him in a while. |
I always felt his game was ready (for the NBA). I was concerned about the off-the-court issues and mentally. |
I felt I owed my team more than anything, for being selfish and for not being there. I tried to help my team and help people outside the program and be a good person. |
I have had some of these same girls in other classes. This is a tight-knit group. They have some great experiences to share in class. That makes it easy and fun. |
I was going to go to the Villanova game at Villanova, but I may not go. What?s going to get Marcus through this is his personality. He?s going to laugh about some of the things they say. You know, ?That?s pretty good,? and brush it off. It?s not going to bother him. |
I'll just find humor in it and let people be people. |
I'm thankful that it's him. It's a kind of a weird kind of closure. |
In the Super-dome, it wasn't good at all. They didn't have any running water, no electricity. It was jam-packed with people. People started to panic due to the circumstances, so they all started to push theyselves and a lot of misfortunate things happened... |
Marcus, his mother and myself plan to sit down with coach (Jim) Calhoun after the season to discuss the future. At that point, we'll discuss what his options are and take it from there. But right now, like I said, he's playing for the University of Connecticut. |
