TENNESSEE COACH BRUCE PEARL: “Tennessee was good. Those guys are great guys. Those guys are good. Tennesee is a nice school. Coach Pearl’s a great guy, good guy. Good winning percentage coach.”
OKLAHOMA COACH JEFF CAPEL: “Oklahoma visit was awesome. We really like the presentation from Jeff Capel and his staff. We like the direction Coach Capel is leading his team to the next level and winning. He spoke about academics, his basketball program, development workouts and getting his players better.
“His basketball staff is strong and understands helping players improve their skill level. Very impressed by the future. Three years at Oklahoma, three first-round draft picks. Many NBA prospects to follow from his program.”
ST. JOHN’S COACH NORM ROBERTS: “Norm had a great plan how he’s gonna turn St. John’s around. They were on probation. When you’re at where St. John’s was, he started from scratch. Instead of getting JUCO players, he went with a young freshman group with good character kids.
“Now they’re all juniors. Now people are gonna see for the fist time, now they’re going to see some of our progress.”
“I can relate to that because with my daughter at Delaware, she was a freshman and the freshmen became sophomores. Now they added other pieces. Now they got a run for the next two years. Now they added Elena Delle Donne. Once you start winning everyone wnats to be a part of you.”
