On Josh Mettelus And How He's Matured And Developed: 
"Really good things. He was young when we recruited even as a high school senior. He was 16 years old. Felt like he was mature for his age then. Been a contributor since he got on campus. Favorite of the coaches and players. Very good teammate and competitor ... He's always been a real diligent player. Haven't seen any real change with that. Very hard worker, takes care of his business."
