Midsummer 2017 - Five Questions with Matt McMahon
Question - You've had everyone on campus for about three
weeks now. How have the new guys looked so far this summer?
Matt McMahon - To steal a line from Dennis Green, our players
are who we thought they were. Everyone has worked extremely hard. They're very
passionate and they've lived in the gym.
The new guys are doing great. I think they're really going to
enhance the culture of our program. They all love to be in the gym and they are
extremely hard workers. The two juniors, Anthony Smith and Shaq Buchanan have
college ready bodies. They're both tough and athletic and I think they'll be
able to help us right away.
The four freshmen are all very talented - Ja Morant,
Tevin Brown, Brion Whitley, and Devin Gilmore. They're just oozing with talent.
They're going to be really good players for us here.
And then I'm really excited about Byron Hawkins, the transfer
who sat out last year. He can really shoot the ball well and he has a high
basketball IQ. But the two things he will really give us toughness and
leadership. And he's a good communicator with his teammates.
