Here's some highlights from coach McCaffery, focusing on the newcomers:
Although the team's length does not match last year, McCaffery likes the combinations he will have at his disposal.
"I believe our 3-point shooting and athleticism will be better, and our team overall will be deeper," McCaffery said. "We have incredible perimeter depth. I believe we will be able to stretch the floor in a big way."
McCaffery believes this year's team has a number of players who can attack the basket and shoot at a high percentage from 3-point range. In addition to Jok, who made 36 triples a year ago, McCaffery likes the shooting ability of redshirt freshman Brady Ellingson, and freshmen Andrew Fleming, Isaiah Moss, Christian Williams, and Jones.
"When you look at the group, you have a lot of options," McCaffery said. "The impressive thing about the young guys is that they have come in ready to compete for playing time. They don't want to come in and wait their turn; they want to play. That creates an atmosphere of competition and helps everyone get better every day."
