Tim Legler

Then it became a matter of, all right, he's got the athletic ability, the size, the toughness.

He loves playing defense.

That jumped out to me, man.

He's got a lot of want to.

Then you just don't know, like, how much will he add between now and like the time he's 18, 19 and he's ready for the draft.

And he added a hell of a lot.

Now, I think his shooting is going to be streaky this year.

He's going to contribute to them in winning ways.

I think a lot of nights without necessarily having big scoring nights.

The shooting's going to be up and down and all over the place, but what's not going to be up and down is that guy's desire, competitiveness, and winning attitude about how he approaches the game.

That, to me, is what stood out more than anything else.

So the confidence level's there, but it doesn't happen like the way it's happening for Edgecom very often.

This fast, where you get into that kind of rhythm and everything's going in early.

So...

Cooper flag will be fine.

I think he's a can't miss, but obviously he hasn't had a great start offensively here.

And a number of coaches that I talked to, and I got a chance to talk to all of these guys at the coaches meetings, right?

A couple of weeks before the season started.

And now we've had, I've had two games.

So there's four more coaches you could talk to about these things.
