Super proud of our coach to bounce back the way he has these last couple of weeks. Last year was a tough one and the beginning of the summer was rough!!! He took a TON of heat, was wanted to be fired by probably more than 75% of the fanbase and still addressed BBN to answer questions. He didn’t collapse and he may have created his best roster since being here. He is showing he can recruit top high school talent, retain his superstars, and get the big portal need. I have to say a lot of our negative fans would not have responded the way Pope has. Super happy for him.

Also, a lot of people have gone at Keegan Brown way too harshly. He got a late start and still helped orchestrate a team that can compete and maybe make a deep run. He has helped create Popes best roster and done a pretty good job in a GM like role. Dude was working in the NBA.. pretty sure he knows what he is doing. We went after under the radar… mid major guys who have talent so we could afford the big fish in Momcilovic. Brilliant budgeting!!

Let’s ride this momentum.. have a great summer practice session, and have a great season this year!! Go Big Blue!!

If handing out compliments, do not forget to complement Mo Williams.

“The development piece was key,” Hampton said. “They actually showed me, through film and analytics, how and what I can do to get better. But let’s be honest, Coach Mo Williams closed the deal. He’s been a friend of my dad for a long time, so my family has trust in him.

Looks to have been a good hire by Pope!

Hopefully he's turned the corner. Still has to prove he can win at a top tier level. Maybe he proves that this season. It's a good roster this year, so no excuses .

I will eat some crow. I’ve been extremely critical. Especially with his recruiting. Getting Milan and now Hampton is a move in the right direction. I also like that we might be getting out of the Gonzaga series to play in a premiere tournament. All good moves in my book
