Brooks Monaghan Pleased Quotations

Our recruiting class this year is takings us in the right direction. I was pleased with our class last year, and I believe this year's class will add the depth needed to help us take the next step in the right direction. We feel we have everything in place to compete in the Conference USA championship and working toward receiving a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Overall, I'm pleased with what we have accomplished this spring. The team worked hard adjusting to a new style of play. They overcame their initial frustrations and gained a strong belief in our new system.

Our focus is not necessarily on scoring but on making progress toward what we're trying to accomplish. Although we didn't score, I'm pleased with our performance. I'd rather have us play well and see no results than to have us play poorly and get the result.

We have some good games scheduled for the spring that will prepare us for the fall. I'm pleased with the results we had this weekend and the amount of knowledge we gained about ourselves. We still have things we can improve, and we will continue to work on those things in the upcoming games.

We had two good games this weekend and we have two games left. I'm pleased overall with the spring we've had and the progress the team has made toward what we want to accomplish in the fall with our new system. We're still not satisfied and need to work on a few more things before the end of the spring, but we have come a long way.

We played very well as a team. Last weekend against Missouri, we struggled playing together. We were able to turn things around for these two games, and I'm pleased with the result. We created several opportunities to win both games.

Against Arkansas State, it was the first time our players stepped on the playing field to competitively play our new system. I'm pleased with the way the players adjusted to playing the different positions. Our defense was solid and the offense created lots of scoring opportunities.

I'm pleased with our performance on the weekend. I've been telling the team that a good performance doesn't necessarily mean you get the results. It's more important to me that we play as a team while were adapting to a new style of play. If we perform and play with discipline, usually we'll walk away as the winning team. I can honestly say that everybody played well this weekend.

It's always a battle with Ole Miss. Whether it's a fall or spring game, it's always a great rivalry. I'm pleased to get the result we had from a quality program that had a lot of success last season.
