Selected notes:
[*Could barely hear the questions, but...]
- Ryan Rodriguez out for a significant amount of time
- Zion will be ready
- "It's not only the best offensive linemen, but the best 5 that can work together."
- "Playing time...comes with consequences when things aren't done the right way."
- Focus on attracting guys who want to grind and be developed (thought this was an underrated comment)
- Zion described as a "jumbo athlete" - heavy hands, light-footed. Putting him in positions where he "can be a weapon."
- High praise for John Campbell in terms of being resilient and ready to go.
- In response to a question about it being "his" program: "I'd say it's our program." Immediate redirection of how the question was framed.
- In response to a question about fear of failure: "no time to stop and think about that stuff, don't pat ourselves on the back, think of it more as opportunities...no focus on me, my life, how i feel." (thank Jeebus)
- Trevonte has taken great pride to competing and coming to Miami
- Met with every single player. Sometimes multiple times.
- Random observation: he uses the words teach and teaching a lot
- "Humility leads to better credibility." (Amen)
- "I think it's great that I'm from Miami, but..." intention is to do right by people.
- "No fluff to what we do...I had coaches, teachers, and mentors who don't fluff it up either." (Focus on authenticity and genuineness)
- "A lot more work to do."
- "You can't skip the painful steps."
