Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff on Earvin Morris, Jr.:

"Earvin isn't quite as tall as Mike Scott from a fewyears back, but he reminds me physically of Mike in that he is allarms and legs. But his competitive spirit is where you would wantit to be. He competes in everything we can do. He can run all day,similar to Mike Scott."

"He is a better shooter than I expected him to beand he is a better ball-handler than I expected him to be. At hishigh school he played like a wing forward. Here, eventually, hewill be a combo guard. He'll be able to play the point for us.He'll be able to come off ball screens. He has to get stronger, butI think at some point he will be an all-conference player. I lovehim. I absolutely love him. I love his energy, his passion, hiswork ethic. Those are at a high level right now. I know we are onlya couple weeks into school, but high level."
