Congratulations to Alex! It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
I hope Chris Hill doesn't end up regreting not getting Alex here someday.

Larry,

Hire Alex sooner than later. The locals love him and he was probably the best defender on any of Majerus' teams. That says a lot.

Johnny Triump, get a clue!

I would like to have seen Alex Jensen at Utah, but I think he had other plans. Maybe an opportunity will come down the road to get him back here.

It's nice to see Alex Smith getting some props from respected pros.
