Henry Mason Quotes

"At practice two days ago you could see the look in his eyes. You knew he was going to play well today. And he didn't disappoint."

"He's just very energetic. He said to me early on that he wanted to be a head coach who was going to be a good recruiter. He was a good recruiter as an assistant. We used to bump heads all the time in Florida and when you went against him you knew you had to - quote, unquote - bring your 'A' game to beat him. He brings a passion to the recruiting part of it. I like that he is a guy who will get his hands dirty a little bit in the recruiting process as far as being out on the road a bunch."

"We're looking for him to develop a level of consistency where we can count on him for whatever it is, try to define his role and see how far he can take it. He has some good tools and now he has his opportunity to take a step forward and we're hoping he can do that."

"He really worked hard on gaining some weight. He's a stronger player. Hopefully, that strength will carry over (during the season)."
