Good input from Tejon and BU today

Where's the input from Te'jon?
Just like last year, Rob asking uncomfortable questions to players about guys red-shirting. Really unprofessional on his part.
Who's wearing 25? Kinda a sacred number didn't know we gave that to none Simeon kids.
Around :20 seconds in the shootaround video fyi.

Is that Finke @ 15:30 in the Underwood interview? He looks significantly stronger now. Another feather in Fletcher's cap?

Very well spoken. I always listen for that, as it indicates intelligence and there is no substitute for a smart PG.
Wearing different numbers in practice isn't uncommon
Rob.. sigh...
In the photo, Smith doesn't look much taller than Frazier. Pleasantly surprising.

That was a well-conducted interview. Te'jon seems so much more mature and conversational compared to last year. As a fan, I really love being able to watch our players develop skills on and off the court.
TJL will be the starter, and there will be no redshirt of him. Why would someone even ask a stupid question like that? Overall another good peek of what is going on. Seems that BU still continues to think Spicy G is our best physical player. Ready for them to start playing!
I don't want to go back and watch the interview again, but I thought whoever was talking about that was referencing last year and not this upcoming year. I thought he said something to the effect of, "You went from possibly red shirting last year to starting at the end of the year."
Unless Mark is just much shorter than we thought
. I believe smith is right around 6'4"618 Illini

Wonder if Smith's comment “It’s exciting, and I know other players and recruits will want to be a part of it,” Smith said." is reference to another elite Southwestern Conference recruit E.J Lidell...
Videos of this make me very excited for what Leron can do in our system these next 2 years. Think he's been a sleeping giant for 3 years now!

+1 He looks like a different human being.
Leron's shoulders and back look massive as well.
Honestly he's always had decently wide shoulders.. He just has never really packed the kind of mass you would have expected from him as a frosh. I thought he'd throw on some mass and look like a jacked PF along the lines of Tyler Cook or even Ed Morrow and he just really hasn't.
Skinny arms. I'm not sure he's got more bulk than Tyler Griffey had. Wide shoulders and a decently developed back and that's about it. Great rebounder though.
