Notes and quotes from Brad Brownell media outing

---

- "One player won't do what KJ (McDaniels) did; but we have guys ready to take the next step."

- "I would like to have my best player back. But I've got guys back that have been through the wars. We just need some guys to step up and be consistent and be the players we want them to be."

- On freshman Donte Grantham: "He's good but he's young. He has great size & skill. He's a basketball player more than an athlete.

- On Jaron Blossomgame: "He's got to shoot better this year, and he's worked as hard as anyone this offseason."

- On ACC: This league has changed tremendously just in five years I've been here. Last year I was 10-4 against teams I signed up for, but 0-4 against teams that I didn't sign up for. That's the difference in making the NCAA.

- "We have to renew the enthusiasm that was there in the tournament. We have to get the fans enthused and in Littlejohn."

- "Patrick can be the shooter... He is behind on conditioning. He can shoot the ball. Gabe [Devoe] is a streaky shooter. [Donte] Grantham is the most fundamentally sound freshman we have had in a while so I have the confidence he can be another three point threat for us."
