Following the lead of the Daily Princetonian, M.A. Mehta from The Star Ledger tracked down Coach Pete Carril earlier today for a quote about Sydney Johnson. Carril had the following to say:
"I always thought from the very beginning when I recruited him out of Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia that he had leadership qualities," Carril told The Star-Ledger this morning. "As a coach, you apply all of those qualities and your experiences.
"He was a very good defensive player, captain of the team. He was very unselfish and just a good all-around player. He'll be fine. He'll do a nice job. If he's the choice and he accepts, it'll be a fine choice."
Update: In a amendment to their first post on the subject The Star Ledger is now quoting a source who calls the Daily Princetonian's initial report about Sydney Johnson "premature."
