Jameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

The very best day on the Hilltop. Graduation.

More than anything, great young men.

One will be coaching high school basketball, one will begin his career as a nurse, and one will be playing professionally in Germany.

GO BE GREAT

Senior day for the winningest trio in Illinois College basketball history. Lots of highlights, stats and accomplishments, but above all phenomenal young men. Will leave IC and our program better than they found it. Grateful to know these 3!

Buzz Ritzel did everything from going 5-for-10 from three away from the rim to THIS at the rim in the @BlueboysHoops win at Knox.
