He hurt his arm the summer before he came here and he had Tommy John surgery. He's probably not at 100 percent. I also like the fact that he's not afraid at the plate, either. He got a big hit and put down a key bunt for us. |
He initially committed to St. John's and went up there for the beginning of preseason practice but wasn't happy there and left before school started, ... He went back to IMG and looked for another school. We found him there. |

He is here and trained. He is just waiting for his visa, which usually takes from one to two weeks. Hopefully, he will be ready for next weekend. He is a versatile guy. I think it is important to add a veteran of the league. |
He keeps getting better every week. He'll mess something up, and the next week you won't see the same mistake. The big thing is we have to give him enough time back there, and he's going to make every throw he needs to make. |
He knew how to do some of the moves, but he would call it something different. It was more me struggling because I didn't know what I could say so that he would understand. It's been a heck of an experience. That's for sure. |
He knew what the situation was going in and he really didn't want to make a mistake. I think he kind of wrestled that way. I don't think it's very indicative of how good he is. I think he was just making sure he got the win. |
He made a difficult situation very easy. He played extremely hard every game. He's made a decision for his family and his career and we respect that. We just want to make sure that when we play against him, that we beat him. |
He needs to get his life in order. He's a good young man. He just needs to get his priorities straight. He's got a long life ahead of him and a lot of people that care about him. The only problem is he's got to help himself. |
He plays a lot bigger than he is. He's an excellent route runner and he runs well after the catch. He goes up and attacks the ball and he's not afraid to go in and slug it out with you. That's what makes him a good receiver. |
He really settled down and started to command a little bit better. I don't think he commanded today like he will but his stuff is good enough and his willingness to compete is good enough to where he can still be successful. |
He recognizes that there are a lot of revenues being collected by, in particular, about four of these governors around the country, and these revenues are being collected but aren't being sent back to the central government, |
He stayed on me all week. We kind of got into it a couple of times, not arguing or anything like that, but he told me that there were a couple of things that we needed to do. I did them today and I hope that will carry over. |
He still scored a ton from the free throw, but if we hadn't went to the zone he would have had 25 because Billy would have kept making them throw the ball inside to him. So the zone really helped us a lot in the second half. |
