“Pons is the best all-around defensive player in all of college basketball, and I don’t say that lightly. I know the weight behind it, and I fully believe that statement. I think that people drastically overuse the phrase ‘he can guard all five positions,’ but Yves Pons can quite literally guard all five positions, especially at the college level. Combine that with the fact that he can make a face-up three and that he is just a great kid with an impressive work ethic, and that’s why I thought he should have been a top-40 pick in this year’s draft.” - Rob Dauster, The Rebound

“Fulkerson emerged as one of the best big men in the SEC last season. Now back for his fifth season on campus, the lanky left-hander will be the heart and soul of a team with great potential.” - David Cobb, CBSsports.com
