Tubby's comment about having the right kids on the bus seems to have been right on the money. You could see a shift in the way recruited after the Royce Drama. Character became a huge part of his equation when evaluating recruits. He has recently said that coming to practice is a joy, because everyone is happy to be there and ready to work for the common good of the team. Gone are Joseph, Cobbs and Royce, replaced by the likes of the Hollins', Coleman in addition to Mbakwe and Rodney. The results have spoken for themselves, so far.
