He's a great player, great guy. Happy for the team and for Sweden. I'm excited myself.

Rick helps bolster our team both athletically and academically. I am excited to have a player of his caliber in our program. With the amount of club and ODP experience he has, he is going to quickly be ready to meet the demands of our program.

He's been a great team-mate. He was a very nice guy and a superb player. He made a real difference last season, and it's hard to lose him, because we valued him so highly. I can only wish him all the best.

As a player, you understand fans have a loyalty to the team, but I?m still the guy you liked two years ago. I?m just on a different team. I can understand not liking my team, but you liked me then, so why can?t you like me now? That?s why I?m a player, not a fan.

He had a great game. The guy is a warrior, an absolute champion. He is a great team player. He is exactly what we want all 11 players on defense to be. If we had 11 Bo Smiths, the way that he played Sunday, we'd be a great defense.

I was very excited. The team was excited. Everyone was excited.
