I think it's important that we go through everything together as a team.

It's been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it's personally, academically, or athletically.

What we forget is that the Academy is a star-maker, or it reinforces the stardom of people.

There's always something special when the service academies play each other that's not in any other game. This is not a regular game, and everyone involved knows that.

The Academy not only knew I existed, they thought I was good!

The academy gave me a grounding in discipline and hard work that has sustained me throughout my life, and the lessons I learned there I now try to impress on young people.

As coaches say, it's about finding your role. We're coming together as a team.

We've got to recruit at the same level of the people who are winning titles and playing for titles, and to do that, we've got to have great facilities.

I always felt like we were here to do a job, so you should be out there practicing and playing.

The athletes are still out competing the same as a Division I team, and I think we've done a good job of creating an atmosphere where they're responsible for their actions and their play.
