excellent floor kid mind physical runs shooting solid touch
He's a good, solid big-man recruit. He's long; he runs the floor really well, excellent shooting touch from outside. Very, very physical kid around the basket. He doesn't mind contact.
polished refined
He has a lot of the same skills, just isn't as polished and refined at this point.
quick staff transition
The staff that he hires is going to have a lot to do with how quick the transition is.
knew risk

changed coach contender deal division fans understand year
Fans have to understand that's part of going from Division II to Division I. You're used to being a contender at Division II year in and year out. Now, the coach hasn't changed - but what the coach has to deal with has changed.
guy position swing type
I know they want a two-guard type kid. The other position that they are going to recruit, they'd like a swing player. A guy who can be a two-three or a three-four, can play on the perimeter.
