"I think the work Eloy put in this summer with the Reach USA trip and the Dominican Republic National Team will pay off this year. The experience of playing against veteran players showed Eloy what he needs to do to take his game to the next level. Eloy is long and highly skilled and we're going to need him to log some major minutes in our frontcourt this season." -- Head coach John Calipari
