I like Johnny Hill's attitude

[gelesen]

Point guard Johnny Hill has that stomach fire even without last year’s disappointment. He transferred from Texas-Arlington for NCAA tourney opportunity and he’s set to fully embrace it.

“This is very special,” he said. “This was one of my top goals.

“But I tell you, it was overshadowed by the great teammates I have, the great coaches we have. It made it much easier to give my all. Making the NCAA is a great feeling, but to be surrounded by so many great people is an even better feeling.”

First met this kid at Illinois State his freshman year. The kid is nothing but class, charisma, and caring. Great person all around! "Positive vibes only!"

Defensively Hill and PJ gave us IMO the best PG D in the League. They complimented each other very well and worked well together when we needed them both in there to beat a press. I am very proud of them and I am glad they are part of Purdue's family.

I won't lie, I was a bit apprehensive about him coming given he had jumped around a bit.

And while he doesn't get pointed out as much as Octeus because Octeus had more impact on the offensive end, I really have been impressed with how he's played and the improvements he has made - particularly defensively.

I hope he keeps it up and continues to impress.
