“We talked to (Pearson Carmichael’s) parents and we talked to him, and it just felt like the right time.”
“In this day and age with the changing landscape of college and what could happen, it seemed like the prudent move to get him out there and help this team. For his first game—and it be a conference game—that was pretty impressive. I was pretty happy.”
