Hey guys,
Fire away with questions for this week’s Q&A. Please don’t post new questions on the answers section, because I don’t always check the comments. Save them for next week.
I’ll finish off last week’s leftover questions shortly…
Thanks
Jon
Should Garret Claypool ever decide to run for president, just go ahead and mark down your vote.
His Tuesdays, after all, have been pretty super.
UCLA’s midweek matchups have been all-but-guaranteed with Claypool on the mound, as the El Camino Real of Woodland Hills product has become the Bruins’ most consistent pitcher.
You seemed to have a bit of an edge in spring ball compared to last season. Getting a little cocky?
Kevin Prince: “It’s not cockiness, it’s more of just a self-confidence after going through a season and playing a significant amount. Going into last season, there were those doubts. I hadn’t played for two years, it was my first time in a division one college situation. Now, knowing I can do it, knowing I can practice, knowing I can work hard, it brings a lot of self-confidence. I expect myself to do a lot better than last year. I don’t expect to be the greatest in the nation, but one of my goals is to be one of the top QBs in the Pac-10, if not the top QB in the conference.”
Do you feel the pressure to deliver – and deliver big – in year three?
KP: “Any new coaching staff, the third year is the one. We’ve improved so far – not drastically – but this third year is the make-or-break year. Being the third-year for coach Neuheisel and Coach Chow, I think it really will be a big season for us. We can’t take any steps backward. We have to go forward, and it can’t just be a little bit.”
Hey guys, sorry I didn’t give a head’s up first: I’ve been on Tour of California duty for the last several days.
I was, however, at the NFL Rookie Premiere Photo Shoot this morning, and got a chance to visit with Maurice Jones-Drew for an extended period. I’ll have the interview up Monday morning, along with my chat with Kevin Prince.
