"He told the whole team to take it a play at a time because you never know when it'll be your last. He just summed it up right there. His whole career gone in a flash. You've got to enjoy it while you can, just make plays, do your job and win games." (HSB)
About the competition for their starting MLB spot, Dave Aranda said:
"Everyone's had their days and their positives, but we need a guy that can be consistent day in and day out. They all have their strengths. That's such a crucial part of the defense -- that's the quarterback of the defense, so we're still looking for that guy." (HSB)
About the daily evaluation of each MLB's performance, Heun said:
"They put up a board they update after practice. If you were loafing you get called out. Nobody wants to be on that." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Experience favors the returnees, as Lolotai opened last season as the starting MAC backer against Central Arkansas and Heun finished there against Wisconsin. Daily-Lyles, meanwhile, is eagerly awaiting his Division I debut this fall."
About redshirting last season, Daily-Lyles said:
"I wanted to play with all my heart, but I guess it wasn't in the cards and redshirting was probably the best thing that could happen to me." (HSB)
HSB Note: "When he last played, Daily-Lyles was the hub of the defense for Southern California prep power Long Beach Poly, where he helped the Jackrabbits reach the CIF state championship game as a senior and earned league MVP honors with 159 tackles, including 42 for losses."
Praising Daily-Lyles, Aranda said:
"I'm very impressed with George. Je has all the natural instincts, probably the most instinctive guy (of the group). He's very smart, picks up things very easily, good quickness and burst to the ball." (HSB)
About moving up to the Varsity in high school as a Freshman, Daily-Lyles said:
"All these guys are staring at me, all these D-I prospects, and you've got to find your own or they'll eat you alive. Step up and make plays and they'll respect you." (HSB)
About his ribbing with Justin Clapp (who went to De La Salle), Daily-Lyles said:
"(Clapp's) locker is right across from mine and we jaw all the time. Fun and games." (HSB)
HSB Note: "With many of the approximately 150 high school prospects who attended "junior day" sticking around to watch practice, some of the starters who sat out the Warriors' first scrimmage of the spring --such as receiver Greg Salas and running back Alex Green -- saw full-speed action yesterday as the Warriors went full speed in third-down, red-zone and 2-minute drill periods."
Happy with their scrimmage, Mack said:
"I'm very happy (with the progress). We held some of the ones out on Kauai, but they got 30 to 40 reps today. And I'm always pleased when no one gets hurt. We still have some guys on the bubble. That's why we scrimmaged the 3s and 4s, too. We want to see some more of some guys; some are possible special teamers." (HSB)
Agreeing that creating a 5-to-play-5 rule would be good for college football, Mack said:
"I think it'd be great, really. Anybody that can help us as a freshman, we want to play them. I'm thinking it would be good." (HSB)
