We were very tempted. A lot of the guys we had up there gone before we were able to pick them. When you get into that third and fourth round, there were some really good players who fly off that board.

They were anxious (days). But it's been great. I can't say enough about John (Shaw) and Jay (Zygmunt). They've gone about this very professionally. I've had a very good attitude about it and felt I was in a win-win situation, but knowing all along that it would be a dream come true to have the opportunity to do this. I'm really pleased to have this chance, and I can't wait to get started.

This CBA deal has put things a little bit out of whack as far as renegotiating with guys.

When there were unlimited scholarships, we were able to pick and choose and take more of the elite guys. Now it's not the numbers, it's who. Not all of those top guys were going to come to Texas.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Sometimes you get that little brother syndrome. A lot of that is bringing them into the fold. You've got to have the same goals in reverse order.
