Just a few that stood out.  Definately a new sheriff in town.

Hoskins:
On the confidence among the players...
"When you bring a coach in that is proven, and the players don't question what he says, people just go with the flow and it definitely excites us. Coach Huggins brings a lot more intensity to us and it has helped"


Maybank:
On whether or not they have chips on their shoulders...
"We all should have chips on our shoulders, fifth is not first so we can't just settle for that. "

Young:
On why he came to Kansas State...
"Coach Huggins was the biggest reason, he drew me in and then the fans got me too. When I came here on my visit the fans were calling out my name and that got me excited. Having that kind of fan support always helps."

Martin:
On the team's postseason potential...
"We feel that making it to the postseason is very realistic. We feel like we could have done some of those things last year. The luck didn't quite go the way we wanted it to last year, we had a few games that we lost by less than five points that we think we could have won. This year we have very high expectations, we don't only expect to get to the tournament, we expect to get to the tournament and win some games."

Harris:
On the excitement generated by Coach Huggins...
"I am not surprised at all; he is a big time coach. This is what we expected to happen when he came here."

the quote that tells me alot is this one:

lance harris:  "On what Coach Huggins is working with him on...
"He has definitely talked to me about being in a comfort zone. Last season sometimes I got a little too comfortable and he is trying to work with me on always playing hard so I can be consistent."


the fact that huggs has gotten lance to recognize and act on this tells me all i need to know about this team buying in and that even harris sees his own fautls and is working on them.

also says something about wooly that this didn't happen until huggs got here.

nice guys finish 6-10.
