Did anyone attend the MUBB Coaches Clinic zoom session last evening with Tyler and Oso? I wasn't able to watch, but am curious how it went and what they did/said. In my MU roommate chat, I speculated that they'd each be on a court...with Oso showing that he can now hit 3s and Tyler finally using his right hand.

Any real updates?

We R Final Four

I did. It was a zoom setting, no 3s from Oso.
Both men talked about their recent life changes and the process they are going through. Oso playing along Kevin Durant and D Book....knowing that he doesn't need to score. TKO talked about backing up Brunson and playing on the court when you don't have the ball in your hands. Different role.
Both guys were very thankful that they know that they are more prepared than most guys in the draft, due to their MUBB experience. Oso talked about how hard the workouts and practices were at MU. Both talked that they have an education for the game that most young players don't have. They said Shaka taught them to be the coach on the floor, and to see the next cut, the cut after that, where the open guy will be, etc. that most young guys dont understand.
They talked about their love for MU and MUBB family.
It was really a testament to who Shaka is and what he is conveying to his players.
Oso said scouts and GMs recognize what Shaka is teaching and they love it.
I wish every MU recruit would listen to this to understand that Shaka is the man, and best for you, your family, and opportunities after MU.

I absolutely love all of this! Whether the recruit all by himself or by listening to family and his coach (far more likely a combo), the message is "look at the entire picture". If you are eventually in the NBA draft, you have an advantage over some non-MU players.

Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the summary, We R Final Four. Great to hear of such glowing reports from recent players. I agree that recruits should watch. That said, I wonder if (and do hope) that MU BB will make a recording available publicly.

So can we put to bed the "TK has an attitude problem" BS?

We R Final Four

Well, I don't know.....

TKO, without any prompting, called out Knicks first round pick Pacome Dadiet from France as one of those young players who doesn't understand the game and only looks to score.
Motivation? Telling the truth?
Maybe both...

Did TK address his "bad attitude?"
Paraphrasing from what I recall.....
"I wasnt even a top 350 player out of HS. I've always had an edge. Im a competitor. Im a fighter."

Attitude? For sure.
Bad attitude? No.

At one point, Kolek told Shaka, "STFU, you're not my coach, old man," and proceeded to laugh for an uncomfortably long time.

Well, we got five upbeat replies to the OP before umm... ::)
