I think the freshmen will respond better to AK's style,

My talent and work ethic will get me there.

Anytime something happens in practice, I keep expecting to hear coach's voice correcting us. The older guys are almost trained to look over our shoulder. His presence will be missed.

It hurts because I won't be able to finish my last season. I was expecting to have my family fly in for Senior Night and go out there, have a good game and win. Now my Senior Night, I'll just be watching my team play. That's hard. The hardest thing to accept is my career is over, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I feel better. I've come to realize that it's not the end of the world. It's a bump in the road; I'm still going to reach my goals.
