I was hoping, and it wasn't. I've had Max for three years on my team. He's a special little guy. He was just so excited about it.

The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, HE was a genius.

He has been invaluable to this team. He was like any young guy who walks on – hoping there would eventually be a scholarship available. But he didn't dwell on it. Justice is sometimes there even when you're not sure you're going to allow it to be there. He deserves to have been on scholarship. He earned it and has played exceptionally well, which is what you hope your seniors will do after having moved through the conference two or three times.

We're assuming and hoping that he's going to be the guy.

I've been told two to three weeks, so that's what I'm hoping for.

I talk fast because I'm asthmatic, and I'm desperately hoping the words get out before my breath fails.
