I would say that OG was on that path.

I actually had OG with Vic in my last post, but he rocketed a lot faster that Vic. Man, just imagine if he wouldn't have injured his leg his sophomore year?

OG is such a good NBA player also...even after his jump and getting drafted, I did not see him being as effective on both the offensive and defensive side as he is. Leading the league in steals and avg. like 17 pts. per game. He just kept developing.

...just look at the tremendous growth Victor had from his first year to the next. He was an athletic bench player. It's hard to believe that Vic's freshman year, he played in 32 games, only starting in 5. 

His jump was almost all on him too. He was in Cook Hall 24/7 that summer. There weren't any coaches helping him either. I mean they maybe told him what to work on but took that and ran with it

Still good players entering daily. Very well could be a good thing we don’t have our roster set

I would agree on OG. There have been several who have steadily developed their game but few who have really made that massive jump. Steady improvement every offseason from the majority of your core group can take you a long way if you start with the right talent.

It doesn't matter..... My point was Vic was a raw, under the radar recruit, that Coach Crean found. He saw something that many others didn't. Coach Woodson may or may not have one on his roster now. We will see.

There may or may not be... good to know.

Sure it matters, it's a likelihood and environment scenario. You recruit a certain player with characteristics that improve their chances. You create an environment for development. This was my point about TJD developing differently in a different situation.

It seemed like there were many players entering Cook Hall or already in Cook Hall every time I walked by there a few years back. I'm not surprised CTM has that program going in the right direction.

I feel like this is the main predictor of improvement. You gotta have guys who live the game. Last offseason we heard a lot about JHS living in the gym and Kopp seems like that guy, is there anyone else who the staff has talked about as a great worker?

I would say Trey must have put in some kind of work taking himself from a bad 3 pt shooter to a pretty good one this year. He still needs to take it a step further. I'm really interested in seeing if Banks & Gunn live there or not. That will tell us what kind of jump they will make

I would agree that women have & had a few more people who live there than men do.

I see things have really went down hill here without any news... Either way...

Caleb Love

Kadin Shedrick

Jamison Battle

Chris Ledlum

... I think we can get a couple of these dudes still and there are a ton of fish in the sea y'all. Lots of good players to go after still.

Are you being positive? I love it.

 I mean how many players have entered the portal so far? How many are really good? Quite a few. And quite a few guards that are really good. And plenty of serviceable big men. We got this right? Right.

Plus more entering each day. We're going to get some that fit us, maybe not the biggest names but good players

I'm sorta with LCS on this. I'm seeing all this doom and gloom, but I haven't seen many players commit anywhere just yet. I don't have time to go through all the posts and pages on this thread -- is there inside intel that I've missed indicating that we've already struck out on some of our portal interests?

We're out on Love, but other than that everyone is in play unless something changes. Some people think Timberlake is a UNC or KU lean but were still in with him. 

[Chris007]

What's going on here? Don't remember his name coming up.

Ah -- OK. The only thing I saw about Love was that it likely came down to us and Mizzou. I didn't realize he had made his choice -- or was leaning away from us.
