KELLOGG ON HILL: "Matt Hill's been great,and he's given us everything he can every day. He's a 6'7", long athletic kid who can play a little bit inside and some outside. He's shooting the ball much better. His attitude's been fantastic, he's a kid that you love to have around your program, and I'm excited to see what he can bring to the table in the real game setting."
