This is great to hear.

"DP - How excited are you for the 2011 season under coach Kill?

My excitement for the upcoming season grows on a weekly basis. I just love what he’s trying to do with the team, and how he’s approached helping us to become the type of players and men he want us to be."
 

I follow Keanon on twitter and he really seems to be a down to earth kid with a good sense of humor. He often talks about school or the university in his tweets and has really assimilated to the U.
Has the best tweets I've seen on there. lol

Dude is twittering a lot ha ha. on the subject of awkward moments: "when you with a chick and smell a fart and you know you didn't do it.damn baby it had to be you.we the only ones in here"......and they are hilarious. On a serious note, I found this mature enough quote which many athletes need to think about:

"Over 60% of NBA and NFL players are BROKE five years after retirement. Answer? EDUCATION. Our culture of skipping steps doesn't work"

Please keep posting these player interviews as you complete them...great to see how various athletes are adjusting to the new staff.

Keep up the good work!
 


Thanks guys! We should have Ben Hamilton sometime soon also! Glad you enjoy them
 

City

I liked the fact the campus was in a major metropolitan area. Most colleges are in the middle of nowhere and being from Dallas I’m use to being in a big city with a lot of people and a lot going on.

YES. Kids need to realize the advantages at the U of MN. Culture, activities, networking, jobs/careers after college, etc. Iowa City, State College, W. Lafayette, etc, etc, - are "in the middle of nowhere"!!

That should be a major selling point. The weather is bad here like it is in Iowa City, Lincoln, Ann Arbor or Madison. We have a great city, hopefully Kill can use that as an asset.
 

Nice interview, but, whoever "Tom," the lone commenter is, should return to the hole he came from.

"Without Coach Brew we never sniff players the caliber of Keanon Cooper and Marquis Gray. It takes elite players to win ball games and Brewster was able to get them. Kill will never enter the living rooms of highly rated kids."

I agree and don't know where people come up with this BS. Kill seems to have been able to recruit everywhere he has gone. It took him two years to go from 11 to 3 in the MAC for recruiting ranking and I don't think he even cares about the rankings. I don't think Kill will take a back seat to anyone going forward in recruiting.

It takes elite players to win, yet Brewster never won. What a moron.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. It takes what most people consider a coach to make these players elite and translate that into wins too! I think he must have forgotten about that part! Brewster was always good with step one when building a team but that is about as far as he went with his coaching.
 

I just hope people can stop spreading the 'he played safety in high school' lie. Just because Rivals lists a recruit as a safety doesn't mean he played there, it's just where they're projecting him

He did play saftey, just his sophmore year only... it's not as much a "lie" as it is he only played it for a year.

He said he was at safety for spring practice his sophomore year ("I actually only played safety spring ball of my sophomore year"). So, according to this, he didn't actually play safety in a game nor did he play it "for a year".
