It was a matter of elimination. We got there Wednesday morning with about 30 guys in the locker room. Then at 8:15, there were 25 guys in the locker room. No one called or said anything. Everyone on the 25-man roster had a set of luggage in front of his locker.

Chris Resop

I don't think four is too high or too low. It's where we deserve to be. My contention is that every roster looks unbelievable until you get the players in and see what they can do and how they jell together.

Rick Boyer

I just want to be in the NFL. I want to be drafted, to make a roster. I just want to be in the league. This is where you do that.

This happened in July. If the downtown hotel wants to charge a nightly rate in the upper 10 or 20 percent of hotel rates, that doesn't bode well. I have to decide if I want them on our roster and tie up their inventories if I might not be able to sell them.

Sacramento has some room on its roster for a player who does well in vet camp.

Rick Forney

I would think it's a no-brainer you carry three catchers (in the playoffs). And there are no other catchers on the roster. Mike did a heck of a job defensively. ... Mike can be proud of the fact when he caught in the big leagues, the lead didn't diminish at all.

Cammi Granato

He comes from a good family, he's a hard worker, he's just a good kid to be around. He's a smart guy. He's got good field sense, he's pretty much a good guy to have on anybody's roster.

Mike Setzer

We returned from Spring Break healthy this year. We were plagued with multiple injuries very early in the season. We now have a full roster again. I'm excited.

Malcolm Colbert

He's opted not to continue his junior playing career and pursue his life after junior hockey sooner rather than later. It's a disappointment but fortunately the trade didn't involve us giving up a player from our active roster. It's not as though we had Macdonald and then lost a player in the process, or we had him and he left.

Bill Bestwick

He is a proven outside shooter and has shown success rebounding the ball, ... We look forward to having him on our roster.

Bernie Bickerstaff

We needed a few additions to an already impressive roster.

Adriano Galliani

Marco and Eric are forging full-speed ahead and certainly look to fill out the team. They've been extremely busy and will be extremely busy until they get the roster in place.

Hayne Ellis

The bulk of our (innings) came from the two kids that moved away. Between the two of them, they were a big part of the roster.

Dave Barrow

Looking at their roster, it looks like we're a little more seasoned. I think they're starting four juniors. Hopefully our seniors and depth will carry us. It could be the difference.

John Wilson

Right now with the roster as it exists, they're nowhere near contending. They're not even contending for the playoffs. That's going to be a tough pill to swallow for (Garnett). When you look up and you're now 30, and you don't see the team contending, it's hard. It's going to be a big dilemma for Kevin and those guys in what direction they go in.

Greg Anthony

We don't have any rights of any kind. It's unlikely that we would do it anyway at this point with the way our roster is.

Alison Hoversten

That's not the news we wanted to hear, ... It wasn't met well. Obviously, you go forward. We feel the depth of our roster will serve us well.

Bryan Colangelo

You can't make the club in the tub. A team is going to have 25 healthy bodies. At that point in time, when I sprained my ankle, I couldn't get out there and compete. It cost me as far as making the Opening Day roster. But better late than never.

Quinton Mccracken

We've had a great offense here at Georgia Southern, one that did not require a tight end. What we will do here offensively will require a tight end and we would like to have at least four on the roster, so this is a good start for us. It was definitely a position of need.

Brian Vangorder

We've only got six kids on our roster, so we don't have a lot of depth, ... But these kids play their tails off, especially at the defensive end of the floor, and we haven't had a problem scoring points, which makes for a pretty good combination.

David Brewer

It's really a cash and [salary] cap problem, ... You not only lose the player, and still have to pay him, but his salary still counts against the cap. That affects what you can do going forward in terms of putting together the rest of the roster.

We're pretty healthy for the most part and excited to see a full roster out on the field.

When Hurricane Katrina hit, they immediately began calling everyone on their roster. FEMA entered into an agreement with the International Fire Chief Association and were requesting teams of two firefighters to be sent to the devastated areas. Greg Hershey and I were both on the roster.

Rob Koons

Simone is coming along, but we know what she can do. We've got to get our final roster set before we worry about June.

Anne Donovan

I was just hoping to make the roster.

Brian Carroll

It's been my goal to make the 18-man [roster] every game. So my ideas of making the final 23 haven't even entered my mind at this moment. I'm just trying to turn in as many good performances as I can and make the job for Coach Arena as difficult as possible.

Kerry Zavagnin

So much of our roster is from Texas and Oklahoma that it's harder for some of our families to get out this far. We hold our regular number until they verify they're not coming.

Kenny Mossman

If it doesn't go well, then Jesse would have totally deserved [the roster space].

Jared Lorenzen

We have a good roster with good players on the roster. I think they'll appreciate not having this in the middle of their season.

Donnie Walsh

Winning is always good to start off the conference. We played everyone on the entire roster and that is big when everyone can contribute.

Mike Roed

Larry Davis

There's no stars on our roster. Everyone made a contribution tonight.

Krista Menard

I'm never going to count myself out (of making the Flames' roster). I'm going to camp to make the big club. That's the goal. So I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm expecting to go to Omaha because I've got seven months to work my hardest.

Kris Chucko

With every move, the thing you're trying to do is find the most complete players to fill our your entire roster.

Larry Turner

That got everyone's attention. They were already talented, but with their roster, they have to be considered the team to beat.

Seth Sulka

When you start picking a roster of 17, it gets very competitive. They are definitely in the mix, though.

Mike Candrea

It's overwhelming. We had the roster to do it (nine first-round NHL draft choices) and we had the guys to do it, but we just got outworked.

Bobby Ryan

It's nice to have Danny back and he's only going to help this team. He's not the fastest guy on the roster but he can be very dangerous with the ball in his hands because he runs the wishbone so effectively. He also takes some of the pressure off our other backs because of his ability to run.

Tim Mccarthy

We've now got blue-chip advertising coming in on our existing roster.

Scott Greenstein

I agree with him. We are pretty average. But there's nothing wrong with that. When you look up and down the roster, we are pretty average. … Hey, we are what we are. We can't apologize for who we are. It's just the way it is. If he wants to make that comment, he can go right ahead. He has freedom of speech.

Jonathan Goodwin

I am very happy that my dream of playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers was realized. It will be a difficult race in spring training to make the opening-day roster.

Takashi Saito

He earned a spot on our roster and will be a tremendous complement to the young talent in our organization.

Doug Maclean

If the coach called him up, that means he's ready. He may have little international experience, but the Italian league is very tough. We have a roster of 23 players and they can all play well.

Christian Vieri

We still only have 39 wins, but every person on the roster was into the game from the first pitch on. We were coming off the bench giving high-fives. We had a good shot in the arm of life. The win was a big part of that.

Mike Sweeney

There's more people (in Fort Dodge), so hopefully we'll draw better players. We're hoping for a roster of 35 to 40 people.

Nick Frederiksen

Once I got that alleviated in my mind and I looked at the roster, the decision became fairly easy. This team seems poised to make a run. We're young and very talented.

Troy Glaus

I really don't have any feel for whether or not I'll be drafted. I just want a shot to make an NFL roster.

When you look at the projected roster, you get excited. We feel like at least on paper that we've got a chance to not only compete here but also to get some help at the big-league level down the line.

Grant Griesser

We look forward to seeing his continued growth as a player. Darko was able to play a lot of minutes during summer league this July, and we are happy that he is on Serbia-Montenegro's roster during the European Championships this September.

Joe Dumars

It's obvious how much they've improved and made this team what it is. They've been consistent for a team with an inconsistent roster this year.

Craig Mortensen

Tom is basically a master of the psychological side of coaching, ... Every player on the roster, from the starters to the last guy on the bench, is confident about his abilities.

Tony Lawson

I'm used to that. Having a rotating roster is what it's about in the minors. The ultimate goal is to have our players up there [in the NHL]. As an organization, we've got to see if they can play at that level.

Mike Haviland

Of the 13 guys on our roster, I think 12 played summer and fall baseball. I think that's helped a lot. Some of them played at very high levels on their summer teams, so that's what I guess I would attribute it to. They committed themselves to baseball.

Mark Stalker

If we had a (full roster) and a healthy team, who knows how we could have finished this year? But you have to be pleased.

Trenton Brooks

Highland is the No. 2 team in the nation and they are talented from one to 13 on the roster and we just don't have enough horses. But I am happy for my kids because we competed tonight.

Byron Young

That's a pretty good roster for an expansion team.

Tom Donahoe

I think lawmakers are just now beginning to recognize that poverty needs to move to the top of the priority roster in Illinois.

Sid Mohn

Billy Luttrell is a senior who splits time ? we have a deep roster. It's nice to see him come through in a big game.

Gabe Mcdonald

We're a young team and there are only 12 girls on the roster. We're learning on the field and off and we're going to make young mistakes.

Dennis Tyner

That'll probably go down to the last week here. It's way too early to tell on a lot of guys. You can look at last year's (Class A) Myrtle Beach roster and get some ideas, but ...

Jeff Blauser

But we have a lot of depth throughout our whole team. They put together a real legitimate team. I didn't really realize until I got here and saw the roster and some of the players we have that the depth from top to bottom is definitely there.

Rob Blake

There's an expectation from the fans and the public, because of our playing roster, so if we return with anything less (than the title), then yeah, we could be considered failures.

Dwight Yorke

I was just hoping to make the [game-day] roster, and then all of a sudden I found myself in the game, ... It was just exciting and the game went by really fast.

Brian Carroll

People who don't think that it's all about him are fooling themselves. Does he think this is the best thing possible for the team? I mean, they have one quarterback on the roster (Aaron Rodgers) who they like. ... they have to know.

Mark Chmura

This was a great meet for us pretty much up and down (the roster).

Kevin Kinel

I like the fact that there are only two shortstops on the roster. Plus I can play all three infield positions.

Jack Santora

I thought we played really well. This was one of our better passing games of the year. It was a great team win. We got to use everyone on the roster.

Shannon Glidwell

In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.

Terry Stotts

We are inexperienced, and I think some of that has to do with being young. But I was pleased (Thursday) because I didn't sense that we were inexperienced. The only way you knew that was to look at the roster.

Aaron Johnston

Our varsity roster is pretty evenly split between juniors and seniors, which is a good thing, we won't be so lopsided with only seniors.

Craig Marshall

We found out we can't just be dependent on one or two guys. We needed everyone to make a difference. Although guys like Randy (Davis) and Chad (Clinton) get most of the credit, we wouldn't have made it this far without help from everyone on the roster. Whether it's in practice or during a game, all these guys have stepped up for us.

Jack Edison

Everyone played well today, just go down the roster. I can't single anyone out. But we've got to come back tomorrow.

Greg Harris

He's eligible tomorrow and we'll make that determination then. You don't want to make a roster move until you're 100 percent sure. It's looking good, though.

Gord Ash

We know that Andrew is a competitor and deserves to be playing somewhere, and frankly it just didn't appear he would get into many games for us down the stretch. Minnesota was looking to add a player like Andrew to their roster so the deal made sense for both the clubs and the individual.

Kurt Silcott

We haven't had conversations about it over the last couple of weeks because he's been on the active roster.

Lawrence Frank

The experience level they bring, there's no question there is a value to that, ... In the end, for me, it's more about having the best players that we can have on the roster. I think you have to look at it that way. You have to be cognizant of the overall makeup of your team, but you try and get the best players you can.

Bill Belichick

Everyone in professional sports flips their roster from time to time. We've kind of run with the same horses. So, I'm looking forward to the new decade with a new team.

Carol Blazejowski

I hate this a lot because I'm a native of Raleigh and I grew up watching the Glaxo tournament come through its infancy. But we do have Charlotte kids on our roster and they would prefer to play in Charlotte, and it's about the kids.

John Jordan

I'd say that roster is looking pretty good. Tommy's got them playing. They know what they have. We know what they have. We know what we're going to have to do to go in there and get one. Try to execute.

Bo Ryan

We didn't even look at their roster. We knew if you played for UNH, you had to be a good hockey player.

Billy Ryan

Some might look down at you for being the No. 3 quarterback on the team, ... but shoot, I'm still on an NFL roster. I never expected growing up to be an NFL quarterback, and I'm fortunate to have this chance.

Brooks Bollinger

We were looking at the camp roster during our (team) meeting (the other) night, Joe and I, and I didn't see many guys (born) in the 1960s. There were some '80s, some '85s. You realize how much older you are, but we're definitely excited to be here and be part of this team.

Gary Roberts

I understand them feeling like (if) he is going to get hurt on their property they are going to have to pay him. But it's the same thing with every player on that roster. A $3 million player is going to get hurt just as easily as a $9 million player, and they have to pay him if he gets hurt.

Bus Cook

We had to do something with our roster. We could have waited but we looked at all kinds of different possibilities, two-for-one (trades), things like that. We just couldn't come up with anything that worked.

Rob Babcock

The roster is a reflection of the veteran leadership, and heading into this Women's World Cup, we will need the veterans to provide leadership and the foundation for our consistent performances.

April Heinrichs

I think this is the most talented training camp roster we've ever had but not in terms of (arena) experience. We're going to see how they pick up the arena game and adapt. The guys who can pick up the game, that's who we're going to go with.

Kevin Bouis

Market demand for Huron's services is very strong. Our core growth practices continue to attract, serve and build client relationships. We continue to add and retain talented, performance-oriented consultants at all levels to serve Huron's growing roster of clients.

Gary E. Holdren

That's (full roster) a luxury we haven't had in so long.

Glenn Patrick

We will develop a roster of people who have received a great deal of training on containment procedures.

Keiji Fukuda

It's a sad day for the organization, because he has meant so much to it. I kept putting it off, hoping for a miracle. I was trying anything I could to keep Aaron on this roster.

Billy King

I definitely want to be on the (playoff) roster. I think I've had an opportunity to play in the playoffs in a lot of big games. Hopefully, I can be able to give my teammates some knowledge.

Howard Eisley

You could charge a penny every 10 years and put their names on a roster and be technically exempt.

Pete Meersman

We have three sets of identical boys, one set of identical girls and two sets of fraternal twins. We've always had a couple sets, but it never jumped out at us until the other day when we were going through our roster.

Holly Davis

The coaching staff is optimistic about this year's club. Nine of our 18 players are returning from last year's roster and we have some quality additions who will also have an immediate impact.

Todd Pridy

I think it's a great thing, ... It'll feel like you can have an expanded roster. Practice can be good, but there's nothing like a game for someone to gain experience, and the D-League will help. It's a minor thing that came out of the collective bargaining agreement that could turn out to be a major thing some day.

Jerry Reynolds

You do see a lot of new faces. Chemistry is going to be an issue, obviously. You have to do your best to get familiar with each other. It's going to take a full roster (to do well).

Alex Kim

We're excited to add the Kats to our client roster. Just as with our male and female high school athletes, NFL players, professional soccer players and elite amateur athletes, our goal will be to increase the Kats' speed, power and agility and reduce risk of injury to help them win football games.

Jay Brown

We will continue to investigate our options in free agency and look forward to next month's draft to build the best roster we can.

Brad Childress

It's going to be a challenge for them working against a very good receiving corps. They'll have their hands full, but at the same time we have total confidence in the guys we have on the roster to get the job done.

Danny Barrett

UBS acquired the property because it's in a densely populated area and has a strong roster of tenants. We see it as a long-term stable investment.

Peter Casey

We had the roster to do it, but we never got any juice going.

Erik Johnson

When you look at roster sizes and everything else it makes sense. Obviously, it's nice when these numbers improve and we are trying to do everything we can for that to happen.

Ed Howat

FTD joins the growing roster of partners that help our members live and work more effectively while traveling.

Ed French

We all feel that we are close,. We have much better depth along the roster than we have ever had.

Even Pellerud
