It's a real feather in Coach Allen's hat to get a kid like Derek Miller. In my opinion, Derek is the best football player in the Kansas City metro area.

Chris reminds me a lot of a kid I used to coach in the summer, Andrew Davis. He reminds me so much of Andrew it's scary.

The one thing they could tell me they could hang their hat on was, they had never fired a coach. They had always let him finish out his contract. It's very interesting that the next coach they hired, they didn't allow that to happen.

Cooper would always kid me about my hats. He'd tell me I should get a bigger hat.

He's going to be a steal for somebody. I fully expect him to be an early offer type player. He's already getting plenty of attention from all of the local teams ? Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and others are already all over him. But I think he's good enough to play for almost anybody that can use a back in his mold.

Darren had much thicker hips, and he was able to run over you if he had to. D-Bell is a lot thinner and not as thick, but he has incredible speed and nobody can catch him. He doesn't have to run over too many people.
