- | * | + | ***Notre Dame Prep head coach, Bill Barton, on Saunders:** "He has a quick first step. He’s very, very good running the floor. Anything from one dribble out he’s very adept at, very comfortable doing. He started doing some back-to-the-basket stuff. We’ll work on back-to-the-basket moves this spring; that’ll be out point of emphasis with him. I envision anything in transition he is very good at, and we’ll work with him with his back to the basket...As far as shooting, that’s an area he needs to work on. I think he’s probably a little bit further along offensively than (Ousmane) Barro but he’s not physically as big." [[http:// |
