The nice thing is it taught us what we can do and can't do in order to have a chance to compete with the status of where we are at. We did have a lot more experience, but we had limited numbers. As far as our style, I would think the nice thing, last year we were up here in the same situation with a limited numbers. They are in every drill, in every situation, so it's great for them. That's one thing in practices the last few days we have been at 10, and they can run, but they can't hide. Scott, can you tell yet what your playing style will be and who the guys playing prominent roles in that will be?ĬOACH DREW: The nice thing is people ask, "When you have five scholarship guys, does it make it tough on playing time?" And I say not really. This can be the foundation that helps move up our program and return it to where it once was. Hopefully these people will be around for two, three, four years now. What our coaches are really excited about is every day we improve in practice, and this is the foundation for the future of Baylor basketball. We will have seven available second semester. Right now we have five scholarship players available first semester. We are very excited about the incoming players. Coach, could you talk about your incoming class and what impact they will have on the program?ĬOACH DREW: Well, considering we only have one returning scholarship player in Tommy, they better have immediate impact on the program. We will take questions from the floor now. MODERATOR: Okay, Coach, thank you very much. Whenever you are a coach or player, I know the most exciting and thrilling opportunities is to compete in a conference tournament, and I know we are very excited to be a part of that, and we know that the fans here do a great job and the hospitality they provide here make it a first class event, so thank you.
