I was pretty pleased, but I was upset yesterday because I didn't make the top eight yesterday, so I came out today wanting to do better.

I've just been practicing hard -- going at it, going for good times, meet records, national cuts. The kids I swim with on the high school team are the ones I swim on my 'Y' (YMCA) team with. They push me. So it's been a great year.

Every once in a while they might throw the ball across the field and it looks pretty. That's probably about it.

I would assume it would be pretty soon, obviously, because they probably want to get it done as soon as possible. With free agency coming up in March, the franchise-tag deadline in late February, I'm sure that that's something that's probably a big priority.

They say that's a lot of the test, ... I've heard it's pretty tough.

I'd say if they're not ahead, they're pretty close behind where I was as a freshman. They're very good learners of the game and situations around them.
