It's much different than high school. But the (Commodores) obviously know Alex is a tough-minded person. He's very confident in what he does.

To the best of my knowledge, the only school Alex requested us to send the release to was Iowa State. Carlton - he had a list of schools.

I used to think of California as in the vanguard. Now its school spending is among the bottom 10. We need to increase school funding by more than the trivial amounts being talked about.

It is very discouraging that we are in school on Good Friday. I hope that we can work around that next year.

You never know, one of those might be the next Division II All-American, had we had taken the time to respond to (him). He could be the player that's going to turn this program around. I look at every single one I get as being a potential all-conference player, and we'd better respond to him. From there, we see what happens.

He went out with a lot of class.
