  Speaker 1: Cody has a question for coaching.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, coach Cody Gill from Stevens Buick Cadillac. You know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: obviously the center position is just such a huge impact,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: especially in college ball. You know the history with us,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: whether it be Night to be my Boy Donovan, obviously,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it's been such a pivotal position. Where do you think
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: we are right now? It's Singari and Johnson in terms
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of the duel that's worked so well for you the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: past few years.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we feel like we got a tandem
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: right now that has enough talent. Now they need to
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: be you know, we've got to coach them up. Especially
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: taris just some things fundamentally, he's got to do it
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: his position. But we don't feel like the pairing is
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: gonna be what decides the season. I feel like the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: center position we're gonna get enough out of that. We're
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: gonna get enough defensive rebounding, enough defense, enough scoring, enough
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: enough rebounding in the end where we'll be fine. I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I think this team is the biggest question mark is
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: going to be like a guard, which guard is going
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to have the ball in their hands around the wings
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and one of those centers.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: How about the freshman Liam McNeely. We saw him in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Mohegan Sun.

  Speaker 2: He looks like he knows how to play.
• 1:26

  Speaker 3: work in the.

  Speaker 1: Pool with the calf a little calf problem.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Tom's got hands, his hands on his head, but he uh,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: he's got a lot of cam Spencer and him. I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: he's he's a like he's ready to play. His defense
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: is just like all these young players right now. It'll
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: it'll cost us at times, but he's such a good
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: offensive player and he's he's just built for it, like
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: his personality, his character, his confidence, his work ethic. I mean,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: he's like it's killing him that he's not in you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: but I could still call lockeman.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a mod Noel Philly kid. You know the guards
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: from Philly Earl was pretty tough.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean we're tough on the guards. I mean
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: we're always yelling at the guards for shot selection and
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: take care of the ball. We love the mod though
• 2:23
