Bunch of stuff I love in this article:
"You've slowly seen kids start to buy into what we're telling them to do, from the weight room to the classroom to discipline."
"We weren't very deep last year, but with Rodrick Williams coming in, K.J. (Maye), James Gillum, adding them to the rest of the kids,"
With Maye being recruited as an athlete, I find it really interesting that Coach Kill immediately lumps him in very early with the RB's.
"Ra'Shede Hageman, he was outstanding in the spring. I think he can be a force in the Big Ten, I believe that."
Please let this happen.
"Oh yeah, our back end is improved."
Uhm...awkward.
"It's young, but I think it's highly talented and has a lot of speed. Moving Derrick Wells back to safety, Cedric Thompson having a true spring back there -- those are 210-pound safeties that run 4.5 -- that's something we needed. And Brock Vereen, he tweaked his knee but he's 100 percent. Plus, we brought in three J.C. kids, and we were fortunate -- I think we've hit on all three. So we have some depth there that we didn't have last year."
Sorely needed.
"But every once in a while, I think about what we've done, where we've been, and you think about seeing some people smile. Making them feel good about the program. I probably daydream more about the people in the state of Minnesota, making them feel good, because they're so passionate. I do want that for our people."
Never heard a coach say something like that.
I hope Kill never leaves.
