QUOTES OF THE DAY
Men’s Basketball coach Kevin Stallings on Jeffery Taylor:

“He will be a key for us. He will be a go-to guy for us. I don’t worry about his ability to take over a game. He certainly can be dominant in games. I just expect that will happen and hope that will happen with more frequency this year. And I think that it will.”
Jeffery Taylor on the Commodores replacing A.J. Ogilvy:
Source: The City Paper
“Festus and Steve will have to pick up a lot of responsibility with A.J. gone. They have improved [over the summer] in a lot of areas that a lot of people thought they needed to get better at. So I definitely feel that they are ready for that responsibility.”
