He’s a great kid. We’ve had great students here.

Some better than Alex that have played here.

We’ve had players that have left after a year.

We’ve had players leave after two.

We’ve had players stay all four.

Each guy is on his own path.

Some things make that happen.

I’ll give you an example …

You say to Alex, Would you have left after a year if you could?

He would have said, Yeah, I would have left after a year if I could.

These kids are all on different paths.

Proud of Alex. He’s such a great kid.

The injuries and the things that he’s had to overcome,

You just root for a kid like that.

We’ve had three kids graduate in three years, Alex being one of them. 
He was Academic All-American this year so there’s a lot of good stuff that’s happened for him,

But again the injuries and the stuff held him back a little bit.
