This is a group of kids and a coach that you can't help but root for especially, after everything has happened, and I am a big fan of Andy Kennedy.

Right now the program is on a treadmill running along without making any progress and its because Andy can't go out and successfully recruit. Until then, expect this program after this year to struggle severely.

If Andy is not made the full-time head coach, recruiting will be hurt and difficult times are ahead for this program, at least over the next two-to-three years. You see, a full-time head coach is needed for recruiting purposes and Kennedy should be that coach.

I was coming over to give my corner some help and I saw the ball. All I had to do was catch the ball and run with it.

You always want to get in a tournament to see where your kids are at. Most of our kids haven?t played in big-time tournaments. This is going to be eye-opener for the kids. We will be ready as we can. It?s exciting and scary at the same time.

I called those guys my assistant coaches. When you're dealing with the caliber of kids I had, it's easy to put stuff in. If they saw things that would work during games, we'd try it, and it would usually work.
