"You shouldn't have to talk a recruit into coming to this program."
About Turner and Moore going pro: "We don't know if they are going to sign yet."
On Sunday he made 150 calls to players (I understood him to mean, current UK players, UK signees, state players, state recruits)
About MSU fans: "Our fans want an all-out attack, aggressive style of play."
On his recruiting philosophy: "We need to recruit pitchers like McMahon and Case recruited."
On choosing to leave UK: "You don't leave Kentucky, you don't leave that recruiting class, you don't leave the new contract for anywhere else. This is a dream come true for me."
On the state of the program currently: "This is a rebuilding process in the short term. I look around at the league and compare it to our talent level, and, I'll tell you, we've got some challenges ahead of us. But we'll be aggressive finding kids who can play at this level. We're losing some arms and potentially some position players to the big leagues."
On the player mindset he wants: "We've got to get kids who are mentally tough. You don't know about a kid's competitiveness until you challenge them. I want guys who want to play in this atmosphere of big crowds. I want kids who respond to pressure and challenges. And we're going to bring those types of players to Mississippi State."
On strength and conditioning: "I'm a big believer in strength and conditioning. Our guys will lift 4 times a week."
