Funny thing is, the right guy can rebuild a program VERY fast in MBB. Even a total rebuild like at ISU...with the transfers being immediately eligible, all you need are a few really good players and surround them with role players and you're competitive. That's pretty much what TJ has done. I don't expect us to be a bubble team, but just being competitive and winning a few games is a huge improvement.
First guy looked good, the second guy......not so much.
I thought so I just didn’t want to be wrong. He’s certainly a kid to keep an eye on over the next few years!
We’re going nuts over a 6’7” kid who can dribble unguarded toward the basket and dunk?
I don’t believe anyone is going nuts. I saw that video that DRob quoted on Twitter and thought I’d ask the question whether that was his son. He’s only 14 years old and he’s already 6’7”. I thought it was intriguing.
I think we should all take a second to appreciate the early returns TJ and the staff has gotten 1 month in.
Things were looking pretty bleak Friday night after JCL announce he was transferring.
Getting the trio Hunter (recommit), Kalcheur, and Grill and now Lipsey has changed the outlook on the program 180 degrees. There were early questions but I think now we are seeing the plan and focus on MW recruiting OTZ first talked about not just coach speak and more importantly he is accomplishing it.
TJ wanted to bring the Magic back to Hilton and this far has delivered. I am very excited what the staff will do with the last 2 scholarships and can't wait for the games to start.

Literally the only posts after the video are "is that Drob's son?" How is that going nuts?
Read the actual tweet. 14 year old kid who is 6'7 already and averaged 16 and 8 at a weekend tournament in Omaha and was callled a certified HM prospect. Given that the kid is DRob's son I think people should be excited.
Lots of people want ISU to hire an assistant coach with a son that is a good prospect. Well, now we have it.
ISU played the long game on that one.

Let's be honest. We are 0-2 on coaches with really good sons playing for us. McDermott and Green. Hopefully we can land one if they are really good
A LOT of competition for the likely #1 transfer on the market
Wonder if the staff has reached out to Brakefield at all seeing as he is from Wisconsin? Didn't have a good Freshman season at Duke but could just need some time to develop.
