best enter hear recruit
We recruit nationally. When we hear of the best of the best at a position, we go in and see if we can enter the battle. Sometimes we come in and we're fortunate.
believe gone grown recruiting taken work
One thing I always believe about recruiting is you end up where you should, and things work out. But you have to go and do the work, and Brady's gone and done the work. He's taken his experiences and grown from them.

We tried like crazy to recruit them. They did extraordinary things in high school and they've picked up right where they left off.
bit checking closest distracted eye internet interviews keeping people recruiting sure talking understand
I think the recruiting process, with all the Internet interviews and people checking up to see what things are said about them on the Internet, I think it's distracted young people a little bit.

We felt coming in ... he was a guy that was really into the game of football and you could just tell as he got here that he was maybe further advanced than the normal guy. ... Now he's got to obviously take the next step as we go into the Big Ten, but I think he's done a nice job.

We feel very good about where he is and how he's being cared for and his attitude.

We certainly appreciate what those young men and women are doing for our country.

We're going into this week with the thought in mind that Troy will be the quarterback and have the most significant number of reps in practice, perhaps 75 percent to 80 percent.

I've said many, many times that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you have a chance to be a champion, ... I think we have that.
