Rubin Carter Players Quotations

I have mandated to our staff to get out and meet coaches. They need to see our logo. They need to know that we are out doing extensive evaluations on their players academically and athletically. FAMU will be visible.

This is one of the games that you live for. The stands will be packed. I would think the players would want to excel in a game like this.

I think we blanketed the state pretty well. We were able to get some players we think can help us.

For some positions that is exactly what it is. They have to show that they have the toughness as well as the ability to compete at a high level. I'm expecting the players to come out on Saturday and show exactly what they have.

This is a storied program. You look at the history, you look at the players who played here, the players who coached here. There's a lot of history here, and there's a lot of pride for this university. One of the reasons I wanted to be here was because of the alumni.

They showed a lot of energy, enthusiasm and hustle. We really didn't move the ball well on offense. We have players that have been out this spring that we think we will have on offense in the fall.

We want to see the things that the players have learned. They should have a good understanding of what we are trying to do by now.

We have to stop the madness. That was the first thing I said. It's not just MEAC schools. We've got schools in Alabama and Georgia that have made a feast out of Florida players. There is no reason why those players can't stay here if they chose to do so. That's one of the things we are really trying to emphasize - keeping our kids in the state.
