"Joe deserves full credit for that," Nill said. "That was the COVID year, and we all saw him in Frisco [at the Under 18s], but to say he was going to be as good as he was . . . but Joe did his homework and had a gut feeling about him. At the draft, I challenged him and said, `Joe, are you sure this is the guy?' And he said, 'I really think this kid is going to be special, and I honestly think we can get him a little lower in the draft.' So, we moved down, and he was right on. It worked out so well."
