Cody and Luther were ordsprog

en Cody and Luther were kids in high school who used to come to the juke joint and sit in the corner, petrified of interacting. But I didn't look at Junior and R.L. as giant heroes of the blues.

That's the difference.

en I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.

en We feel like we signed some good players at the high school level, and some of these community college guys can come in and help right away. I'm real impressed with the way some of those high school kids looked.

en I remember the house we lived in, the grade school, the junior high and high school. I remember one time we had a fire in the high school so we couldn't go there. We had to go to the junior high school for a year.

en It's always good to have the core of your offensive line returning. Experience counts at that position. We have four starters back and some other guys who have played. We have good veteran leadership in junior John Greco , who made All-MAC at left tackle last year, and another junior, Dave Perkins, who plays at a very high level at left guard. This will be their third year together as starters, which is very important.

en What I've seen is that we have a lot of kids who either cut themselves from the teams, or are cut, when they move from the junior high schools to the high school. Because the high school doesn't have any freshman or sophomore teams. So that's one of the things we're trying to work out.

He said to me 'Son, you can't be on this team if you're not at the Junior High.' But he'd seen me skate and the way I could play, and he told me I could be on the team as long as I didn't tell anyone I was still going to the East School.

en I'm just trying to be positive. I like the guys (I'm) around. Even though we're not at the record I'd like to be, even after a loss, guys are mad, but then we have fun and you move on. They look up to me. I've been around eight years. A lot of these guys were in junior high or high school when I came into the NBA. I see how much of an influence I am off the court. I try to be careful how I approach things on and off the court, because I know these guys are watching.
