This is the first time I’ve been impressed with Jon since his playing days. He’s starting to feel like the real deal.

I’m calling it now, Wendell Moore will be my guy this year.

I still want to see more from him in terms of showing tough love, but he’s got the mind for the game itself. His confidence in this clip is just so much better than I’ve seen previously.

I’m sure it’s there... the guy was recruited by K, coached by K, taught by K... but I’m not sure he has been put on a position where we would see that, you know? Cameras in games aren’t going to focus on him, and Duke video won’t show him pissed off...?

And who knows. Maybe his style isn’t “tough love.” Tough love works for some guys and some guys it doesn’t. And tough love looks good on some coaches and t doesn’t on some. The main thing I want out of Jon is to be his own man and coach. If he can be that, which I think he will, he’ll be just fine.

Starting to get that same feeling about Scheyer being the next head coach. Kind of liking the idea. Groom him for the job the next few years, no drop off in recruiting.

Good video. I still say we start Tre and the four freshmen

I know it more from union work, but I LOVE the "I believe that we will win" chant. (I know it started in sports, but I know it from union work.)
For that matter, what was that song? I like rap, including some pretty profane stuff, but w/ highlight clips I prefer more "wholesome," uplifting stuff like this.

And of course, we have some exciting guys coming in.

Read an article online the other day that if Georgia Tech fires Pastner there would be a strong possibility of them trying to hire Jon.

The song is called "I Believe" by KB

The more I see this I see a couple of guys with bad body language and that concerns me. If they are going to transfer turn in your play book and do it before the season starts.;) OFC

What I’d give to have 1/10 the energy they have when I go to the gym.

Great to see them coming together as a team! Excited to see Goldwire this year! Hoping he’ll bring some enthusiasm similar to what we saw in spurts last year. But, if he airballs a layup again I might have to buy a new TV.

I think AOC is gonna make the leap and be a stud this year, I can feel it.

Anyone follow him on Instagram?? He’s got him an A+ UNC soccer player. Maybe this improves his confidence on the defensive end and handling the rock.

I’m worried that he’ll be spending too much of his free time trying to explain what an actual college classroom is to his UNC girlfriend.
