KELLOGG ON CARTER: "Sean Carter's been fantastic. He's one guy that has exceeded my expectation level of him coming in from the way he competes every day, his enthusiasm with the guys and it seems like he just loves going to school here. He loves being on campus and he's a guy that you'd love to build your program around. He's a fun person and I think he's got a chance to be a special player here. His athleticism and his size is something you just can't teach and he's willing to work and learn every day which is a great trait to have."
