S. Walker Starting Quotations

We're starting to get some of the puzzle pieces together.

I think we're really starting to come around. We understand that we can be good if we defend, rebound and take care of the ball.

Jersey Shore's been competitive all year. They have had some good junior high programs and they are starting to come up (to varsity level).

My mom didn't want to worry me about them ... but, obviously, they're starting to panic because they can't find them.

That's the most surprising thing to me, because it seems like he can be a starting center in this league and probably be productive and play 25, 30 minutes a night. But he looks good, and I guess that's a credit to him and the physical shape he's kept himself in throughout his career.

Whoever is performing and getting it done will be in the starting lineup, and those who are not in the starting lineup will be ready to pick it up when someone is not getting it done. I think we are as deep as we have ever been in every position.

We just want the kids to attack. We'll count up the takedowns at the end of the year. We want them to be aggressive, to not shut down for six minutes. We want them going for major decisions instead of regular decisions, tech falls instead of majors, falls instead of tech falls. We want them getting team points, to buy into the team concept, and they're starting to believe in it.

Another reason for starting at Constitution Hill is because of the impending same-sex marriage case being heard at the court and because of its link to the South African constitution, the first in the world to enshrine the right to sexual orientation in its Bill of Rights.

As far as the standings go, this game didn't mean much. But it meant a lot to us, just to prove to ourselves and to everyone else that we could beat them. They beat us this year, last year and ended our season in the playoffs last year. So we were starting to wonder when we were going to catch a break against those guys. That's why this game is so big for us.

It's been about executing at the right times. The players are beginning to recognize and react on their own. They are starting to understand the situations without constantly being told.

Confidence is a great thing because it is really what drives economies, ... And you can see that happening in Korea, starting to happen in Thailand and Malaysia and very definitely happening in China.

The industry is viewing this as a fresh start altogether. It is almost like starting from scratch.
