I just felt jubilation. I thought all the hard work I put in for four years paid off. I'm going to try to do the same thing I did in college at the next level.

More Julius Hodge on Wikipedia.It's definitely been a challenging first 10 days under coach Karl, ... He's really tough on me, and I like that because I know it's going to make me better and make me cut down some of my bad decisions on the court and make me that much smarter of a player.
Definitely. I'm really looking forward to being out there on the football field in front of all our fans. I'll probably throw on a Derek Morris jersey, and then afterwards get ready to see the Wolfpack get the Hokies.
That's all coach Karl does is talk about Carolina. I can't stand it. He's definitely got a lot of State jokes and I say `come on coach, that's what I do. I can get on you guys.' He's my boss, so whatever he says goes.
It's definitely behind me now. I know I'm strong mentally, so I got past it pretty fast. It happened on the court a couple of months ago. I know I'd been feeling pain in it for a while now, but I just played through it.
The way I look at it, I'd rather him talking to me and yelling at me rather than not saying anything at all, ... If he's talking to me, that shows that he likes me.
He's been telling me to make sure that if you practice at 11 o'clock and (Karl) wants you to be there at 10, you show up at 8:45.
It's been more work than people think. I've been going from this place to that place doing a lot of appearances. Most of the time I've been in Denver working out; I usually get in the gym at about nine in the morning and don't get out until two in the afternoon. The rest of the day I'm sleeping because I'm tired. It's been tough the last few months.
I'm going to have to be as patient as I've ever been in basketball, ... I'm going to have to continue to work hard every day and when I get my opportunity, I have to make the best of it.
