"People criticized Chester (Frazier) but his toughness went a long way. And while it's always nice to get big, physical strong guys, you could use a strong guard, too.
"The one thing we don't have is somebody who has played football. If you look back on the great Michigan State teams, Mateen Cleaves (point guard on the 2000 national champions) played football. Charlie Bell played football.
"Through our years at Purdue some of those guys played football. Chris Kramer on Purdue now is the toughest player in the league and maybe one of the toughest in the country and he's a football kid."
