Not a ton new in the interview, but here are a few questions that may be of interest:

What are the keys you look for when you watch games on TV?
“I look at the general style of play of course. I look for how the players are coming together and how the coaches respond to the players. It’s basically the style of play and the system they run. I don’t go off whether they win a game or lose, I don’t look at the wins and losses, even though that does come into play. I keep an even mind about it. I don’t say well, “these guys beat a top program, these guys lost.”
Have you thought about how diverse your list is?
“Yeah, conference comes into play but I don’t worry about being away from home. Everywhere is away from home. I’ll go where what’s best for me.”
How much does the program’s success with pros factor into the decision?
“It factors in but every situation is different. It does factor in but not completely. One spot might be good for me and another for them. But, if they made the pros then it had to be good for them.”
What’s the craziest thing Tristan Thompson has done to try and convince you to go to Texas?
“He doesn’t do anything crazy. Sometimes if we’re playing and do something good, he’ll give me a look like “come on man we need you there.” He’s been my friend for a long time but he tries to let me have my time but he does give me eye signals when we play but he doesn’t try to pressure me into anything.”
You ever read the message boards of the fan bases?
“I have sometimes when people say “hey look at this or look at that.” Sometimes I say “whoa” and sometimes people say stuff I and I wonder where they get this from.”
Go Gophers!!
