He didn't have the spring and had a tough time holding his position. I don't know exactly when it happened until the second half when he said he couldn't go. At that point I noticed him limping.
|
He has shown the potential to come in and give us this type of offensive lift. I told him the other day that he was due for his breakout game.
|
He has that drive, determination and focus. You see it in his eyes. He has that special something about him that you like to see in athletes.
|
He has worked very hard in practice. I think he has earned the respect of all his teammates. He has shown that he's more than capable of being a major contributor to our team. I think our players look forward to playing with him.
|
He works at his game as much as any player I've ever seen. A guy with that kind of attitude, you know he's going to continue to keep getting better.
|
He's getting a better understanding of his strengths.
|
He's had to make the biggest adjustment of anybody on our team. He's gone from playing on the block to now being a pure perimeter player. As opposed to standing behind people and trying to block shots, he's now breaking down (opponents) in a defensive stance, trying to contain people who have played guard all their lives.
|
He's kind of a cross between Tim and Nate. He has pretty good savvy. He doesn't have quite the energy that Tim had, but I'm not real sure anybody does. But he's a guy who plays with passion. He only knows one way, and that's giving it all he has.
|
He's only scratched the surface of his potential. I knew he played the game with an extreme passion, he enjoyed playing and I knew that we needed those kind of players at Florida State because you knew they were going to get better.
|
He's the kind of guy we had to give some cushion because he's a good driver. He's a very good player.
|
He's to be congratulated and commended, especially when you take under consideration that he had such a young team. They really, really exhibited teamwork and unity and played the game the way it's supposed to be played.
|
Hopefully this will be a motivator to not be put in this position again, where we leave our fate in the hands of a process that is executed without any of us having full knowledge [of its criteria].
|
Hopefully when we look back at the end of the season, we'll realize how big that shot was for us.

I am not going to be a coach that is going to try and campaign to get into the NCAA Tournament. I just think we are a top-65 team. I am not the one evaluating it, but it would be a little more significant if we are successful (today).
|
I am so confused by this whole process that I think the best thing for me as a basketball coach to do is worry about the things I can control. And that's to make sure we get through today's practice and we're prepared for Wake Forest.
