They're great kids who worked hard to get to the next level. Statistically, they don't jump out at you. But they have great character and great work ethics.

Most kids get involved (with the Olympic Development Program) at an earlier age. Casey just got involved a couple years ago. He's worked his way up the ladder (state and regional teams). This speaks to his talent. He's an immensely talented player.

For Casey to get to this stage is impressive. They had a (U-18) camp a month and a half ago and Casey wasn't invited. He wasn't in the mix. He wasn't on their radar. Then they saw him play (in Orlando) and bumped him up.

We got there around 7:30 a.m., the kids got in the room around 9:30, did their warm-ups, recorded, and by 11 they were on their way to algebra, ... They were probably the most professional element of the entire album-making process.

When you get kids helping kids, it's really a heartwarming story.

I am still lacking the wins against the ranked kids. There are a lot of opportunities to do that, though, in the Big Ten. I just have to keep wrestling like I have been.
