Quote Of The Day

I’m really pleased with the progress he’s made. From where he was from when he got here to now, that’s a big jump. The best thing about him is he wants to be really good, and he always wants to try to improve and keep getting better. You see him here all the time, staying early and late, trying to get extra film and stuff.”
