Every band on Ozzfest has to give Ozzy and Sabbath a big thank you, ... They spawned everything that's going on in metal right now. They've been around for how long, and now they're headlining the biggest summer tour for kids? I'm just fortunate and glad to be a part of it.

We've had a slew of people interested in it.

In the past, we used to just write parts and cram them all together and call it a song. With this album, we wanted to refine our craft. People want to scream sellout, but we feel that radio came to us, and that's not a bad thing.

We felt we had afforded ourselves the right to do what we want to do. Just taking off the makeup, it's another look, 'cause no one's ever seen us! We just felt it's what we needed to do now.

The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player. Academically, I am well on my way to graduating and earning a degree and that is a priority for me.

In discussing my options the last couple of weeks with my family and Coach Dixon, I feel that it is in my best interest to declare for the NBA Draft. I will not hire an agent, leaving me the option to return to the University of Pittsburgh for my senior season. The draft process will provide me a great learning experience and will help me become a better player.
