with that. I've my tics as well — just always find it interesting what people's go-to phrases are.

First two paragraphs under "On recruiting international star Egor Demin to BYU:"

“When I first got the job and I was trying to figure out staffing and so forth, my goal was to get people that had ties and connections and so forth all over the world, and we were able to do that with the staff that we were able to get done. It was kind of some conversations about who might be some of those international targets once we had some of the staff put together. (Egor) was at the top of that list."

“The basketball world is a pretty small one, so a couple of calls here and there ended up being some connections and so forth that we could kind of lock into. Then I think the staff did a really good job of the recruitment and tying into all of our networks and so forth. I’m really happy that it got done.”
