The great thing is, I know he can get better. He's critiquing his runs and critiquing his play coming up here. That's what's going to make him better.

He's a warrior. He is relentless. I've seen him play against guys 6-foot-10 and absolutely destroy them.

O.J. has known of our program, and he wanted to play in this tournament. He looked at the teams playing, and he chose us.

I could see him coming back with us and playing in the Peach Jam in July. ... He wants to play in the better tournaments, and that's one of the best.

The guys are smart enough to know that this was a mismatch. These guys lost seven players (to academic suspensions) last week. They're very thin.

It just showed me the type of person he is, that he was glad that he was here and whatever he could do at that time without being able to play on Saturdays he was willing to do for the team.
