This is a very intelligent group academically. Most of them are superior honor students as well as being good athletes. They are self-motivated. They don't just practice with the team but they practice on weekends.

There are about 80 students from Hawaii on campus. I think a lot of Hawaii's athletes. I think some NCAA schools ignore them. We don't ignore them.

Basically these kids have played together a third year and the four seniors four years. This is third year Scott was part of the group. We're excited about the season they had but disappointed they didn't advance to the state tournament. They were successful in almost everything they did except that. I think they will be more focused then ever to accomplish that goal.

He's got a little bit extra motivation.

Absolutely. The coaches dream is to have a guy who can run the offense and set up other players.

The early baskets for him just gave him a lot of confidence. Anyone that gets those early baskets, it just gives them tons of confidence on the offensive end and I think that's just what happened for him.
