Mike Krogel Quotations

He's basically committed himself to MSU, and they'd love to commit themselves to him. But he has to get the academic situation squared away.

He's a kid that's dealing with all this hoopla - the recruiting - it's frustrating for him at times. Sometimes it's just overwhelming - the letters and phone calls.

I think they deserve their rating because of how they play. The whole key is to try to work as hard as they're working. I don't think you're going to out work them, but if you're working as hard as they are, you've got a chance.

I think he's realizing the importance of getting his education taken care of simply because some of the guys he knows are signed and delivered and not him. And I think it's wearing on him a little bit.

We got behind early, but defensively we were doing OK. We just had to find something that would work for us offensively. We made some adjustments to where we could get Leon the ball.

They played hard tonight. For their talent, they overachieve; nobody outworks them.

They got all the publicity, and we've been fighting from underneath all year. We made some adjustments and we're growing as a team.

There's a lot of schools who would probably, in the end, maybe even take a chance because they'd love to have him on their roster.

He's very versatile. What makes him special is he can score inside and out, he can post and has a long-range shot, and he has a mid-range game. We play him at the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. He's had to run the point and defend the opponent's five-man.

You could tell there was a special kid there.
