He is an example of a horse that could do it on either side of the Atlantic. And let's hope he does that. He may come back here in a couple of years. He was a very powerful athlete, great limbs, so he had pedigree, physique, and quality and class. [Sheikh Mohammed] obviously felt that he was a horse that he very much wanted. |
He is very special in the sense of what he has gone though. He has this inner drive, wherever it comes from. Everybody would love to have what he has inside in him. He has seen a lot, he has been through a lot, I can really see the drive he has. He has that special something 'it' inside him. He just has so much pride in him. |
He might talk a little loud, laugh a little too long or not be able the read the body language or even the tone of voice of a person, but it's not a big difficulty. If you call him on it, he will acknowledge it, say 'OK, you're right, I shouldn't have said that or laughed when I laughed.' This couldn't happen to a nicer kid. |

He struggled a little bit this past weekend, he couldn't get the jump off because he stepped over the board just a little bit. That's not a problem he usually has. He'll be more eager this weekend because he's a little mad at himself. We'll want to be a little conservative on his first jump and loosen up the following jumps. |
He talks of relativism ... the smorgasbord of beliefs he sees unfolding, and he is concerned the church will be assimilated if there is not an effort to resist it. That effort may not fill up churches right away, or win popularity contests. ... I don't know if it's right or wrong, but it's the framework he's operating under. |
He was shaking violently, ... and tears streamed down his face. His whole frame quivered with the spasms, and he was barely able to tell me between sobs that he couldn't take it. He just had to get the hell out; I had to let him go to the rear. He sobbed like a baby during the entire outburst and beat his head on the ground. |
He's a kid who wants to help carry us -- which is commendable -- and of late it hasn't happened. It's like we say about hitters who want to go out there and do too much. The same is true of pitchers, and Jeremy, unfortunately, still falls into that rut of -- instead of being a pitcher -- reverts sometimes to being a thrower. |
He's a strong, good-sized kid. He doesn't come down easily. But we don't give him the ball a lot inside for 2-3 yard dive plays. We prefer giving him the ball off-tackle where he can get into the open field. Once he's in the clear, he's a vapor trail. He's gone. I don't remember seeing anybody who has caught him from behind. |
He's an overachiever. If you look at him you'd never think that he is a talented wrestler. He's tall and lanky and not very muscular, but he's a gifted athlete. He's also a good student and a leader on campus. His main attribute is his work ethic. He just works harder than most kids. Hopefully, he'll be a state champ for us. |
He's as tough a son of a gun as I've ever coached. As a person, he is just what you want. He represents the kind of person and player you want to build your program around. As a player, he has become one of the great shooters ever to play here. And his attitude is tremendous. His work ethic and dedication are off the charts. |
He's been raised around basketball since he was conceived. The only thing we've asked of Billy is to continue to nurture and teach him to become the best possible basketball player he can possibly be. Coach Donovan and his coaching staff are doing a remarkable job. I couldn't have put him in a better hand that Coach Donovan. |
He's defending the issue of pursuing the Oil for Food program investigation. He's defending the full sovereignty. There are attempts to undermine sovereignty in Iraq. He's defending the issue of not accepting any ruling by any foreign entity inside Iraq. And he's been targeted for doing some things good for the Iraqi people. |
He's doing a nice job. This year, coming into camp, we finally started to talk to him about his mechanics and what our plans are for him this spring. Last year, we let him come in and get used to the program. Now, we're taking it to step two and really getting focused on making some adjustments to prepare him for the season. |
He's had a good pre-season, ... He linked up well with Ian Murray on the left. Peter was at last getting at his opponent, driving on and getting crosses in. I always said I wanted him to scale the heights of my first 18 months here, when he scored a lot of goals. He's capable of that, but it's just a matter of him believing. |
