P10 Media Day: Oregon State's Craig Robinson

| | Comments (0) |

Opening statement:
"Last time I was here, I went first. It sure is nice not to be going first. When I was here last, I talked about changing a culture, and how the players felt about themselves. I think we accomplished that a little more than I expected. When you're expected to win you can't just show up at practice. We've been working really hard at living up to the expectations we have this year."

On the higher expectations:
"Our biggest area of growth was being about to manage higher expectations. Last year, we snuck up on people. This year we won't be able to do that. It's a different mindset when you're playing and expected to win a few games. It sounds like it's not that hard of a mindset to change, but when you have guys who've lost for a long time, it's a big deal."

On top-100 recruit Roberto Nelson
"He's gonna be a very good player for us. We're really excited about getting us going. Once he gets cleared, he's going to be competing for playing time."
