Answered softball questions as one would expect. Nothing new. Any new coach would have answered in the same manner. Now let's see results. Who he recruits, his assistant coaches, and on court success.

Agreed. I was a little disappointed about saying that we'll at least have a chance with 5 star recruits from MN. If memory serves me correctly, most five stars from here, we've been in their final top 5 or 3, for the exception of maybe one. So we've always had a chance if that's what he means. I mean we are "warm" for chet now.

He also brought up promising recruits to develop them to their max potential. Who has BJ been credited with developing and having had drafted or even coached to a 1st team conference level?

No one
