He's got 173 at-bats (before Wednesday), and with the numbers he has been able to put up in that short window, he's been really impressive. We're definitely excited, but we have to temper it because he's still so young. We know he has a lot of room for improvement. |
He's gotten his imprint on that (program) and he's done it as a head coach, which I know is something that Mark really wanted to do. And now we're on that same path. We've got a couple more things we need to take care of, but we've given ourselves that chance, too. |
He's in our top two right now with (sophomore receiver) Curtis Hamilton, and he makes some big plays when he catches the ball. We just started throwing this spring together, but I'm getting more comfortable knowing where he's gonna go and getting used to his speed. |
He's not the type of guy who wants to relive it. He's a private man, very community conscious, and he doesn't want the notoriety. That time of his life was probably hell for him. He's proud of that record, but no man should have to go through what Hank did. No man. |
He's one of the greatest players ever to play the game. When you talk about center fielders like Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Mantle, he's up there with them. If he hadn't missed the last three-four years with injuries, he'd probably have at least 100 more homers. |
He's progressing really well. He's gone through some things back home, and because he's a junior college transfer, he had to pass a bunch of classes over the summer. So he did more academics than football. But he took care of (the academics) and passed his classes. |

He's recognizing what opposing defenses are trying to do to him and delivering the ball to his teammates. I don't think the coaches in this league have (overlooked Smith). Maybe the fans and media isn't as familiar with him, but I guess you will be as time goes on. |
He's so good on the ball. Everyone is confident giving him the ball. No matter how much pressure he's under, you know he's not going to lose it. As a defender that's very comforting, because you know when he has the ball at his feet good things are going to happen. |
He's sore. What we're trying to do is figure out how sore. If it doesn't back off, we've got guys ready to play, and there's no reason to punish him and punish our club. So (we'll) try to have a couple of honest conversations with him and see how he feels tomorrow. |
He's unique. I don't know if I'd say he's revolutionized it. But there are a lot of people out there who want to be like Dirk. And I think in the future, it's inevitable that you'll see more guys who are as big as Dirk and Kevin Garnett who can shoot like they can. |
He's very knowledgeable. That's the one advantage that I see in Kobe Bryant's career compared to Michael Jordan. Ten years into Kobe Bryant's career, we're seeing a very polished 27-year-old player who's probably got another seven or eight great years ahead of him. |
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, / That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. |
Helping customers manage their bills is a priority for us. This includes encouraging customers to take advantage of 'Budget Billing,' whereby they can spread their bills evenly over the year, thus avoiding the jumps that come with higher usage in summer and winter. |
