He was always very open, thoughtful and sincere in the NBA interviews I saw or read, probably why he seemed to be so popular with the sports press when they needed a quote. I always felt the punishment - being effectively black-balled - went too far beyond his crime, especially given its odd circumstance. With so many teams reaching deep into their G-league rosters lately you'd think some GM would've given him a call.

he would be playing if his surgery went well but he’s not ready. Check his IG

What a gorgeous facility. Does anyone local have a shot of what the exterior and landscaping looks like now? I was past there in late July and it was all torn up. I assume that's the last thing they'd get to but also assume that getting sod and foliage in there during September is a priority.

Can you tour Ubben? Coming for the homecoming football game and would love to see as much of the basketball program as possible. Its been over 30 years since I have been to a game on campus!

Haven't heard anything about tours for the public.

This is gonna sound odd, but if I'm a recruit walking through the new Ubben of course I'd think it's cool, but more than that I'm thinking this place means business. All good things.

I think the closets there are nicer than my dorm room in college.

Not really new, but listening to JW give the Ubben highlight tour, I was again impressed with how natural and well informed he comes off. We knew it before, but this is a bright dude. So glad to have him

Not only that, but his passion for his job comes through. Could you even imagine a Mike Thomas giving that same tour?
