“I’m an advocate for Hardaway being the coach, the reason being he has done a lot as far as reconstruction and redevelopment of the team. The offensive and defensive players have made an amazing turnaround. My only problem is (that) you don’t give a dog a bone before he does the trick. This isn’t to take away from his previous experience, but he has received a lot of glory before the job is done.”

“I think he did pretty good. He brought a lot of people and support from the community. He has also brought us a lot of school spirit and put more faith in the players in comparison to what it has been in the past.”
- Anika Carter, 21, advertising

“I think he did good. He turned the team around, and he should have a better year next year for sure with James Wiseman coming in and all of the other big recruits.”
- Logan Eason, 19, nursing

“I think he’s done a really good job. He came and he already has a good recruiting class for next year."
- Omar Mohamed, 22, biomedical engineering

“From what I’ve seen he has done really well. I feel like it has been a good start to what he has been doing elsewhere.”
