Freshman Quotations | Page 3

Arizona was the best place. I like the competition in baseball, and the football program has been great for the past five years. I think I'll be playing as a freshman in both sports, and I think I can play with them.

I had never dreamed about the NBA like some guys did. I was a non-scholarship player at an NAIA college. I played on the Boys and Girls Club team in my freshman and sophomore years of high school before I made the high school team. I was our backup center in college.

We're just trying new stuff. You've got to make some changes, give the young kids a chance. You saw three sophomores and a freshman out there tonight. Some of the younger kids put in a lot of time during the summer. We're shuffling people in. It's tough.

He went home over the summer, and that was the first mistake. We tried to talk to him about eating right, but he's a freshman going back home for the first time. His mom tried to load up the kitchen for him, and he tried to eat it.

He's come in here as a true freshman with some pretty big shoes to fill and it really hasn't affected him at all. Good things come to people who work hard, and that's what's happening to him.

He's come a long ways, getting grasp of the offense. He's not a freshman no more.

When I was a freshman living in the dorms I went home a lot, but now that I live off-campus I really can't stay home for a long period of time.

When I was a freshman in high school, I read a book about the making of Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' called 'The Art of Animation.' It was this weird revelation for me, because I hadn't considered that people actually get paid to make cartoons.

When I was a freshman I came off the bench and just gave the other post players a break when they needed it.

When I was a freshman and sophomore, I got booed every time I was put in the game. Then, in my junior and senior years, my dad got booed every time he took me out.
