I really, really like Jamal Shead.

Such a great article
That’s a great article and gives a lot of incite as to how this team is already jelling and how our culture is set and carried forth by the experienced players. Memphis can have the #1 class and roll out a group of individuals on the floor; but the Coogs have a team. A cohesive team. A band of brothers type team. A team I think can go all the way.
I just put more money down on us to win it all.
That shows you how valuable the Sampson recruiting is. Not just the best players, but who is coachable, who is willing to work and who is best to carry forward the culture of winning and family, it all has to be there to work and nobody does it like CKS.
This article eludes to the different types of personalities that are on this team! Shead has emerged as the leader because he has that personality and also because CKS allows different roles to emerge. Sasser leads by example of being the best player in the gym. It is cool to see how other guys are finding how they fit into team!
UH had the #1 class in the AAC; in fact, UH had the 2nd highest average ranking per recruit in the nation, 0.08 points behind UCLA.
Continuity and culture, its a great time to be a Coogfan.
I just submitted papers to legally adopt Walker. Love ya son. Proud of you.
This kid is top notch!

Just another reason for Mr Shead to be one of my all-time Coogs!

Just curious, does anyone know Sasser’s star rating when we signed him?
Best college PG I ever saw was Bobby Hurley, who led Duke to three Final Fours and Coach K’s first two titles.
Shead can be that good, maybe better, if he gets his 3P% near 40%. Imagine the drive and kick opportunities if foes had to respect his outside jumper?
PS Hurley played with a 19’9" line and shot 42-45% from deep. Shead’s line is 22’2" or 12% longer. So I assume 37-40% is roughly the same as 42-45% back then.
