He needs to get them up to speed and he probably sees that. The guys sans Yogi could use some meat on their delts and quads at a minimum.

Love his comments---wants us to be "hard as nails" --have an "edge"--play with "intensity".  Good pick-up. Hard work now will pay off later!

I like him, confidence, and he has an "edge",hope it transfers to the players,we could use it.

[swatford 1,235]

Sounds like he's had to overcome some obstacles in his life. More than anything I hope he can enstill that sort of tough, never gonna give up mentality to our guys.

TB is going to be a BIG help. Most excited about his energy on the court. Really hope I get a chance to see how Holt and Bryant can play together.
