“We all came here on scholarship — we're all Division I players. Before, when [non-starters] were in the game, they could just let the starters do their thing. But now everyone is stepping up and playing, and that's what we need.”
Samantha Stovall
“It is amazing, ... When we did it, there were no scholarship limitations. We could have as many players as we wanted. We won with talent and depth. How could you not do well running behind linemen like Leon Hart and George Connor?”
Terry Brennan
“We've come a long way from my first two years here of having six scholarship players and having only one player on scholarship over 6-foot-6 my second year. This year, we had 10 scholarships, so we're moving in the right direction.”
Scott Drew
“My thing is why go four years playing the game without it, you get a scholarship and you're not prepared for the college game. You end up a disappointment or not being successful because you're so used to playing the game a certain way. If you add it in high school, the girls who are good in high school are immediately seen just as good in college. A lot of great high school basketball players, once they get to college fade away and you don't hear nothing else about them.”
Will McKinney
“No question, we have depth issues with only eight scholarship players.”
Billy Donovan
“I've never promised a player or a parent a scholarship or a guaranteed playing position.”
Ray Willis
“I never look at if a guy is a walk on or a scholarship player, to me it's the best guy that gets the spot.”
