Curtis Sumpter Quotations

He does make sense, but I do want to go out there and play. I just don't know. Those guys are playing well. It's not like they need me.

I think of it all the time. I think we could be national champions. But even with us not out there, I still think we can be.

That was the plan from the beginning, to go out together. But things happen along the way.

Each day I was getting stronger, and I wanted to go out and help my classmates. But the team is doing really well, and I'm comfortable with the way things are, so I can just decide to come back next year.

There's no doubt in my mind I want to be out there, there's no doubt in their mind that they want me out there, but I've got to do what's best for me.

It was very frustrating. It was one of the toughest things I've ever had to go through. But I didn't want my injury to affect the team, and I had to keep a positive attitude.

I wanted to go out there and help my team as much as I can. Being out there was what I really wanted to do.

That's what we came here for, ... We wanted to help put Villanova back on the map. We wanted to be a part of something special.

It was like seeing the old Jason. It was like the Jason from high school. You had to feel good for him.

It will be tough. But there's always next year.

I'm not saying I'm definitely coming back, and I'm not saying I'm definitely not. I just don't know, ... Waiting until next year would be a good thing for me. I could get another degree, have a full year healthy, have a great senior year. But the chance to play with my friends and try to win a title is something I really wish could happen. Even if we didn't win it, I'd really like to be out there with those guys.

I made it a point that when I got hurt, I wasn't going to let my injury bring the team down. I learned that from watching Jason.

I'm just going to try and be even better than I was before,

I really do want to be out there with those guys. Right now, I'm going to keep thinking it over before I make my decision.

I felt stronger and stronger week by week, ... I thought I was going in the right direction. Unfortunately, this happened.

I am working hard to get back and help my classmates. I feel like I am getting stronger and faster each day. But I feel the best decision is to continue working hard and to try to help my team in other ways over the final weeks of this season. I'm making the decision that is best for my future.
