Let's put it this way. This year, we talk trash and we win. When we were freshmen, we talked trash and we lost.

That motivates me and Mike, ... Me and Justin and a lot of freshmen came out here like, 'We can win the national championship this year.'

When I looked on the court last year, about every possession I was seeing four freshmen. We'll be the most experienced sophomore class in the Big Ten. Finally, we have some experience. Finally, now we have some carry-over in knowledge.

Before I took the job, we talked about going younger this year. We didn't talk to what degree. But I'm still excited about this opportunity and I'll manage whatever team they give me.

I went out there for five minutes and busted him. I talked (trash) for a day. I'm still trying to heal up. My foot is killing me. Every day my foot hurts.

Andy (Reid) and I, we talked and we talk outside of football. So when he called me up and said, 'Corey, listen, I'm going to let you go,' he knew that that was a tremendous opportunity for me, and they were comfortable in the position in that they were moving to get some of those young guys in there. And from a business standpoint, it saves them some money. So there are no hard feelings.
