Here is a portion of the story:

"Spencer has earned not only the coaches' respect, but his teammates' respect," Collins said. "You do that by the way you play."

Also:

"He took the qualifying offer and said, ‘You know what, I'm going to come back, be in shape, play my tail off and you're going to pay me a lot of money,' " Collins said. "I love that. I love the fact that he's putting it out there that he's going to have a great year this year and make some money."
