I think a lot of these guys talked actually before they actually got to campus, which is really important.

Um, we've had guys stay in the lodge.

It's not like this is our first time having guys stay in the lodge, but like these guys have really embraced it.

They've kind of accelerated the chemistry portion really quickly.

Um, and they spent a lot of time together away from us in practice.

Like you could tell it's like, it's real, it's not fake.

Um, it's genuine.

And, uh, these guys have really, really like, they're really, it's really early to say that I feel like they really love one another already, which is kind of really crazy.

So.

I can't describe it for anyone that wouldn't understand it, but if you know what a quarterback is like, where they just kind of connect everybody, he's just a connector.

He has a bubbly energy and personality.

He's humble enough to accept who he is as a person, and he gasses and encourages everybody to be the best version of themselves, and that's how he gets the best version of himself.

So, you know, just the way he does it, the way he brings guys together off the court, the way they do stuff like that's just kind of like just in a short time of knowing him in person.

That's the evaluation we got beforehand.

But it's real.

He does a he does a really good job.

Him and Malachi are connectors for sure.

I would be, if it didn't happen this year, I'd be really surprised.

I mean, just, I don't want to give too much information, but like just our last two practices, like the way we kind of moved the ball and the way the floor space, we got so many guys that can make a three.

So you have to guard everybody outside of the paint.
