DURHAM, North Carolina -- After one week of preseason training camp, North Carolina Central University football head coach Henry Frazier III likes what he has seen so far.
Below are a few of coach's comments prior to the team's practice on Friday, Aug. 9:
• "In terms of us laying this foundation, I think we're definitely off to a great start."
• "The overall attitude has been awesome. We're looking to see who is going to be the leader on this year's ball club. Every year, every team is a different team, and different people have to step up."
• "The overall speed of the team, the athleticism has been pretty impressive. I have seen some guys make some plays that I haven't seen around here since I've been here.
• "Right now, we're trying to identify who are going to be our leaders, we're trying to identify starters, and then we will switch our focus to Duke. Right now the focus is us, in terms of laying a foundation that we are going to stand on for the next three or four months."
