Josh really needed to red-shirt last year, and he's made great progress. There has never been a question about Josh's strength because he bench-presses the world. He knows he has to improve on his footwork and he's now accustomed to the tempo at this level. He's getting better every day.

We're a work in progress. We've got to stick together and be patient, and these kids will come along. Shoot, I'm not going to give up on them.

Everything is new to him. He's making progress every day. He's a very physical guy. You can see when we get balls to him inside, he's not easy to tackle. He can catch the ball. He has excellent hands and excellent timing.
