Jim CalhounThe 2004 UConn team had the best talent of any I ever coached
I th I think the magical team might've been all for... Because number two in draft Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, Marcus Williams, six first round draft choices not all at once, but that was the best team I should say. Best talent.

Billy FootballI can turn Ben Mintz into a 'lab rat turned muscle hamster' by controlling his diet and supplements
I now have the perfect opportunity [to] control all the variables and turn Ben Mintz into a lab rat turned muscle hamster... Basically I control all the variables.
