Hank is a smart player. He works hard. He is very diligent. He is a tough kid and he really puts a lot into the game.

Bavaro's probably as tough of a - physically and mentally as tough a football player as I've ever coached. So, I would put him in the rare category there.

Dane works hard and practices hard; it's important to him. He's what you want. He's a very complete player. He understands the game. It's his attitude and work ethic that make him the player he is.

Scotty's a heck of a player. He works hard. He is the stereotypical Sewickley hockey player. He does what I ask. His legs never stop. He never takes a shift off. Every shift is going to be as hard as the last one. That's what I need from every one of these guys.

I know it hurts. It crushed him. But if the kid isn't tough, how can a walk-on kid from Asheville, N.C., come in here, get an education and start for Kansas?

I am always pleased with Maria. She is a player that works extremely hard. She never stops working. You are always guaranteed from what you are going to get from her. So I am not surprised the nine points where there for her. She really works for everything.
