Could you ever have imagined having the level of success this season in only your second year at University of Miami?

JL: We thought we were capable last year but injuries and suspensions set us back. I thought we had a great chance this season and I even told the Board of Trustees that I thought we would have the best season in Miami basketball history. 

Have you seen a substantial difference in the level of competition in the ACC, not just on the floor, but in terms of recruiting?
