I don't think even the Harrison's are sure what they are going to do.

Any news on the Harrisons?: “It’s funny you ask. Aaron just walked in my office and I never asked him one question about it. I asked him how he was doing and he said all right. I know nothing yet. You’ll know when I know.”

How impressed is Cal with Ulis, who seems like a “natural floor general”?: “He’s also an alpha dog. His ability to create shots for his teammates yet still score is what we saw in him. He’s got a competitive streak that I absolutely love. Anyone his size has to have one attribute: “I’m not going away.” And he doesn’t ever go away.”

What is he looking for out of Alex Poythress next season?: “The way he finished the season, rebounding, blocking shots, running the floor, defending, let’s build on that because he is a totally changed player. Now fall in love with the gym and get those skills where he can truly be an inside-outside player. We need him to be a 3-4, but really a 3. He sees the picture now and he will be chasing greatness.”

How will his coaching strategy be different from last year’s team with so many players coming back?: “There’s two pieces to this. One, we are going to have a team that knows what to expect. We’re going to have a team that has an expectation that is built on past performance. That’s different than hope. We will be playing more people because there will be more people to play. Marcus Lee needs to be on that court. But so does Willie, Dakari and Karl. So we will play two of them together and maybe three. Trey and Alex deserve to play. It’s a great issue that we’ll deal with.”

He's going to have to play a larger rotation next year!

MH, That's what happens when you get all these Mickey D's. It sure is a nice problem to have with all the talent we have.

I said in an earlier post yesterday that we have an all-star team for next year!
