10 Quotes by Jeff Roper

We're looking for a spark, and Crawford has played well at the sophomore level. We've found out Reed can help us defensively, so we have to rest him some on offense. It'll take stable backs to carry the load for us.

He does what he wants. He's a free spirit.

He said things to me on the bus that I can't repeat. He's a character.
