Jaden gaining 23 pounds since coming on the banks stood out to me.

Which would put him anywhere from 210-220, which is great. (247 had him at 188, Rivals at 195, sk.com at 195 but not sure at what point that weight was taken). Hoping McConnell can also put on about 15-20 lbs.

Coach pointed out Jalen Miller’s on ball defense a lateral movement

This was most enjoyable. Steve is the very best.

That stood out to me as well. He also seems high on Reiber and noted Agee's ability to finish around the basket. Overall a very good listen.

Can this really be Pike's best team? I'm starting to believe it.

 

[80RU]

Once again, he shows his support for all of his fellow RU coaches. And it’s no act; you can see how excited he gets when he attends another sporting event. From the day he came here he was all in for the University as a whole, not just his team.

Anyone else think he's going to be our best player pretty soon?

All depends on his effort on both sides of the court. He has to be a willing defender too.

I hope so, but I have only seen tapes of him. Reserving judgment but can’t wait to get back to the RAC and see these guys play.

Anything is possible. Gotta rebound

Did he say anytnjng about Oskar? This will be a make or break year for him

Important attributes this roster needs, still unsure how much of a factor he will be this year but excited to see him live

You could listen to it!

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

You could listen to it!

Wish I could but not in a place I can for the next few days

Very revealing comments

I love Pike...he's my kind of coach

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Really good interview. Anybody whoever questions Pikiell about the players he targets (recruits and transfers) need to listen very carefully.

It was funny when he mentioned transfer portal guys who asked about how many shots (or minutes) they would get if they came here.

Agree...if this and the JY thread were merged a lot of things are explained and come into focus...
