They both played extremely solid, very consistent in all aspects of their games. If we can get a little run going for Derek or just a few more putts to fall for Ed, they are both on the verge of just busting out.

I really like Andy Kennedy. He's a great guy, but he's going to have the tag of 'interim coach,' which makes it virtually impossible to recruit.

You can't do recruiting on a permanent basis, because kids aren't going to make a commitment if they don't know who they are going to play for.

People are willing to pay for that,
