Lon on the Sports Animal

[Capel's Mustache]

I only caught the end. Please help fill in the blanks -

No word on facilities. Didn't sound optimistic
Buford more comfortable right now at the 4
but he will play the 3 too

Help with more!

Coach Kruger said the TaShawn Thomas appeal is "in the NCAA's court." He said he thought the chances are 50-50 that the appeal would be approved.

Much of the interview was about the Alumni Weekend this weekend:

Lon expects improvement from Jordan Woodard, as many players make a significant jump between their Freshman and Sophomore seasons.

Lon thinks that Buddy will get back to driving more to the basket ... have a more balanced game, rather than focusing so much on 3-pointers.

Everyone is working hard and getting better. Frank Booker was mentioned specifically in this regard.

It's easy to see Booker and Woodard making big jumps in year two
like we saw from Buddy and Cousins.

Sounds like something I've said a few times.

I expect pretty big jumps from Woodard and Booker this year. If they make 75% of the jump that Cousins/Hield made last year, we are going to be a pretty darn good team.

Well said about Woodard and Booker. We can only hope!!
