His interview skills lacking lol. Didn't prepare well. Didn't
even know we played Rutgers last year.

big and quality minutes. These two are ready to step up and to
carry the team. Ochefu will compete for ROY. We may not be 2nd
again but we won't be dropping out of top four. Vermont is for
real. Albany is guard heavy. And every other team in AE has
weaknesses and holes.

I think it's far more likely that Yeboah becomes the "team's
star" than Ty – that's someone who just looked at the stats from
last year and didn't see the team play (the writer, not you).
Nice piece to the puzzle and important to our success but his
production was minimal and minutes were in the teens in the
latter half of last year. We're in trouble if he ends up as our
leading scorer or even to "carry the team" like you said.

That was funny. Coach Boals is a good interviewer though..

he really handled it well. i like boals so much- and i liked
pikiell a lot- but boals to me is a great fit.
something that i really like about heilbron- the staff he brings
in, its as if they are bitten by the SB bug. they are all so
very pro-SB, almost in a cult-like manner. i love it. that's
the enthusiasm we need. its more than a job for these hires.

Absolutely! Yeboah is the man coming into this year. He didn't
play like a Freshman this year, and his off-season playing will
only increase his role this year.
Agree with the others that the interviewer was amateurish at
best. I think Boals did well to sit there professionally, and
take the questions from the kid in stride. Boals seems like a
good, grounded guy.

Here's Jeff Boals talking about the preseason progress. One
thing of note: Andrew Garcia hasn't practiced yet???

And Junior Saintel! If he can become a regular scorer, that
would be a huge lift.

I think Saintel and Yeboah will both show improvement. Hopefully
Garcia will be available to start the season.
