Perceptions:

ACTIONS I’m aware of:

1) BETTER FIT: Prospects Now (allowed to) work out with the team – should help with determining IF player can actually help the team, fit in, style of bb, team chemistry, personalities; (Credit to NCAA); This is probably a potential Big One; Last Year several highly regarded recruits were Nixed by the Team…

2) MORE COACHABLE: Gib continues to Check and Test for how hard-working a recruit is/ displays/ could be; Do they actually do what they say they will; a Big Factor in Coachability and whether they can improve ‘on a good curve’.
[obviously those that didn’t qualify in the past didn’t get it done; and most of the players “not retained” were not only not improving fast enough, but not highly coachable (pouting, blowing up) or executing as directed/ coached (free throws, defense, rebounding).

SIMILARLY, with more time to evaluate/recruit/ build relationships (than the Lost First Year Recruits):
It looks like coaching staff is also bringing in
3) More/ Better SKILLED Players;
4) Better Personalities;

Thomas looks like he’ll be a nice addition to the team next year on the wing, plus he’s obviousy a good student, too. Am looking forward to seeing the team in action, it won’t be long now!

He knows he has different games in hand depending on his defender. Can’t wait till Nov. 14th, there’s many things going on this season.
