I've been telling the college kids that this place was made for them.

Kids don't have a place to go. If you're under 21 and older than 14, you have three options: the movies, the mall or your friend's house.

I think that [the opening] means a lot to the township and a lot to SAC (Save Ardmore Coalition). That has been expressed to us from both sides of the aisle. We feel very fortunate to be in that position because nobody else really has.

We want to be sure we get it right.

Jesse was the go-to guy in college. He led in every category. Here, he's not that guy that does everything. When you jump a level, you need to stick to your position and rely on your teammates.

I knew that he had great numbers in college. Still, it's a tough assessment when you look at those numbers and then project what players will do when they get to this level. Jesse has been nothing but a pleasant surprise for us. Particularly, he's been driving the net for us, which we hadn't had.
